Jul 30, 2009 Nearly opaque with a bit of reddish brown. Big tan head response. Big chocolate smell on the nose. Lots of sweet chocolate upfront, with a lingering dark chocolate bitterness. Roasted coffee grounds appear deep into the finish. Decent but the bitterness lasts a bit too long.

Jul 29, 2009 On tap at Coasters. Pours black with a thin tan head. Aroma of smoke and, very faintly, dark chocolate. Tastes of light citrus hops, dark chocolate, and just a hint of coffee. Some combination of this becomes less pleasant the more I drink; the hops become noticably more present almost to the point of being a bit sour. Having had this both in the bottle and on tap I prefer it in the bottle. A very solid stout all the same especially based on the first few sips.

6/21/2008: Rogue Chocolate Stout is ebony-colored with a tan head that creates sheet-like lacing on the glass. The beer smells like dark chocolate and Dutch cocoa. This beer is quite dry and has some cocoa/unsweetened chocolate and dark chocolate flavor, but it is VERY bitter. I think there is just too much bittering hops or unsweetened chocolcate. It has a medium body and is easy to drink, but the bitterness definitely starts to be overwhelming for a chocolate beer.
22 fl. oz. bottle (15° Plato, 69 IBU, 77 AA, 135.45° L) enjoyed during the Grand Banquet at the 2009 American Homebrewers Association Conference in Cincinnati, Ohio. Rating #1504 for this beer.

Jul 27, 2009 On tap at the brewery on 6/28/09. Pours solid black with mocha head, great lacing. Aroma is certainly dominated by chocolate, but gives way to smoke and coffee. This is a straight up sweet, smooth, balanced stout with a great chocolate finish, and for the style, it’s incredible. Will be looking for this on the east coast.

Jul 26, 2009 Updated: Aug 12, 2009Bottle. Pours a black color with a light-brown head leaving some lacing. Aroma is rather nice with lots of chocolate/cacao (almost like smelling some newly baked chocolate-cake). Flavour is quite sweet with both dark chocolate, milk chocolate and some fudge/toffee. Palate is a bit thin - light to medium bodied with a bit too much carbonation. Quite good beer, but I hoped for more.

Jul 25, 2009 Bomber. Pours dark brown with a big fluffed up tan head. Aroma is strong of cocoa and some oats. Flavors is pretty similar. Pretty malty with a good cocoa flavor, and some roasted malt and oats. As it warms the flavor doesn’t really improve, like many stouts. Not to say its bad, though.Alcohol is noticeable, but not distracting. The palate seems almost a bit watered down and not exactly thick like I hoped for, but Its better than a lot of stouts out there.
