Rogue Chocolate Stout

Brewed by Rogue Ales
Style: Sweet Stout
Newport, Oregon USA

22 oz bottle. Ummmm....chocolate! Pours black with a thick brown head. Lots of lacing and sheeting on the glass. Lovely sweet chocolate aroma. Taste progresses from sweet malt and chocolate to more bitter chocolate, with a nice balance of flavors the whole way.

Never rated but definately had this one. Bottled. Aroma has chocolate and a lot of chocolate Roast and some coffee. Not really complex but high quality. Black coloured beer. Taste is sweet and has chocolate bitterness. Some roast and coffee. Really enjoyable.

bomber from premier gourmet. this bottle was picked out by my wife from the enitire seletion in the store. pours blackish dark brown with a mid sized and lasting tan head. perfect stout appearance. aromas of sweet chocolate that are playful and intriging. the aroma doesnt show a lot of depth but what is there is enjoyable. flavour-wise this stout delivers. big chocolate with sneaky bitterness from the hops. very smooth although a bit to thin. i have to admit that sweet stouts arent really my thing but this one is enjoyable and something id be likely to buy in the future. id love to try it on tap.

Dark brown beer with a brown head. The aroma is dominated by sweet chocolate with some subtle notes of grain. Flavor is at first sweet chocolate then its backed up by some nice american hobs which bitterness is tasted on the tongue but not in the moutharoma. Great beer.

Had this as part of a 4 beer sampler at the Rogue Public House in San Francisco while on vacation. Opaque brownish black color with a brown head. Wonderful aromas of dark chocolate and roasted coffee. Great contrast of flavors that begin sweet and finish quite bitter.

Pours a dark chocolate black with a tan head. Aroma is of caramel, tootsie rolls (for you fellow Yanks) and maple syrup. Wonderful. Heavy body, almost syrupy. Taste is of course, dark chocolate, with coffee, and a surprising smoky thickness. Dry lingering bitterness from the perfect complement of cascade hops. Excellent stuff. What an American stout should be.

At first, the combination of sweet chocolate and citrusy Cascade hops didn’t work for me. But after a few sips, this one really grew on me. Excellent bitter-sweet combination. More flavorful and assertively bitter than Young’s Double Chocolate Stout but still very enjoyable. Re-rate 8/29/08 = Black with a creamy, lasting tan head; picture perfect. Sweet chocolate flavor plus a bitter finish of hops, coffee, and roasted malt. Love the aroma; sweet milk chocolate and sticky molasses. Awesome.

What can we say? We love this stuff. How can you beat a superb combination of great stout with a dose of dark chocolate? Rich, dark appearance, seductive nose that exudes chocolate, lush, intense but not heavy....just delicious.
