May 22, 2008 Rogue Chocolate Stout is a black ale with a foamy, light brown head that exhibits great retention. It has a strong roasted chocolate malt aroma. It is sweet, dark and a bit fruity. It is smooth and full bodied; soft with a snappy finish. It is a very full flavor: pretty sweet and quite bitter. It’s like dark chocolate with a touch of citrus. The flavor is well balanced. This beer is almost like a liqueur. Damn. I can find no fault with this beer. I think it’s the best beer I’ve ever had.

May 21, 2008 bottle; black pour with one to two finger head that lasts. aroma is of sweet toasty malt with lots of chocolate, very pleasant. medium body, with good complex sweet and toasty malt with notes of coffee that quickly fade to a lingering bitter-sweet chocolate.

May 20, 2008 1/12/08 notes: Rogue is fucking amazing. Had this beer a few days after really enjoying their Shakespeare Stout. I have this considerable thought, but I really feel that this beer tops it. Features an delicious dark chocolate aroma and a full bodied, rich, creamy toasted chocolate flavor. Perfect medium carbonation and smooth hop-roast finish. Touch of molasses at the end adds flavor and balance to this brew.

May 19, 2008 On draft at the GOBF. Pours a blackish red, very thick and creamy head. Aroma is almost chocolate milk, but more roasted grains start coming out as it warms. Taste is dry, chocolaty, with a hoppy bitterness and lots of the roasted grains. Very solid beer.

May 17, 2008 Man, I remeber this beer better than I what I tasted today. Still a solid brew and still the best sweet stout out there but I found the chocolate flavor to be not as prominant as in earlier Rogue choco stouts. The chocolate flavor and aroma just seems to be toned down from previous tastings. All things considered still a smooth sweet brew and well balanced. This will require more research ;)

May 16, 2008 Updated: Jul 24, 2009Pours nice & dark with a full head that lasts pretty good. The smell of sweet chocolate is immediate and dutifully powerful. Small notes of roased coffee can be found among the striking flavor of chocolate truffel on the palate. The hopps finish it to help balance the sweet chocolate. This is a great stout with terrific chocolate flavor.

May 15, 2008 V - black with tan fizzy two finger head. fluffy with a bit of lacing. Head doesn’t last.
A - rich aroma, deep malts and chocolate with some caramel and oats present as well and maybe a touch of lavender-like fruit
T - malty with a milk chocolate taste
P - just a touch of creaminess but overall a bit thin.

May 11, 2008 Great chocolate flavor with a nice body and good mouthfeel. Head retention could be better.
