Rogue Chocolate Stout

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

Bomber poured into a pint glass. Poured a thick black with a tan beige head that was fluffy and lasting and lead to nice lacing. Aroma: wow! For me, this was by far the most appealing aspect of this beer. It wasn;t extremely complex, it was just unbelievable delicious smelling: rich chocolate, coffee, and sugar. The chocolate worked much better with the aroma the flavor; the flavor was still good, but it tasted kind of like watered down dark chocolate, and the focus on the chocolate style kind of takes away from the other typical stout aspect that one might normally be able to pick up on. There were small hints of oak and alcohol. The palate was nice and rich, smooth and creamy and dark. It leaves a warm stickiness coating the palate. This was a great beer in my books. WARNING: I just noticed (upon getting to the bottom of the bottle) that there is a thick layer of residue/sediment settled on the bottom of my bottle. This is probably because the bottle was sitting for a long time and i didn’t remember to stir it or agitate it in the bottle before pouring it. Be warned to agitate the bottle so as to abstract all of the beers intended flavors. Perhaps this accounted for the "watered" down chocolate flavor.

Good hearty stout and I’m glad I shelled out the duckets to try one. Very dark stout with suprisingly little brown head. Lots of roasted malt and chocolate flavoring.

Bomber - Black, black, black. Faint head dissipated quickly. Bitter chocolate aroma, flavors of black and roasted malt and tobacco undertones. Medium hop bitterness and better than average mouth-feel. Personally I like less roasted malts so not particularly high on this brew. And what’s with the chick on the label?? Purchased Ramsey Liquor 2008.

oooohhh boy oh boy! licorice and chocolate with a body that is rich and full. oatey body that is just the mark of a really good stout. beautiful head that does not last. smokey in the very finest way. velvety and yet refreshing ths ought to knock the rust off you’re tastebuds. very good.

Pours dark chocolate burnt color. Has a nice flavor but not anything exciting with a roasted malt that turns into a finish and aftertaste that are wonderful. The roasted malt needs to have something to play with in the flavor, it’s currently the only thing you taste during that point.

Using real chocolate is kind of cheating, but I don’t even care. On draught at Circa 3/3/08. Big creamy oatmeal stout body with super chocolate flavor and burnt malt finish. Amazing.

I so love this beer. Gotta get one now. It is not available in Alabama in bottles due to our shitty laws but I can get it on tap at the J. Clyde and On Tap.

Bomber from the rip and run. Muted nose of swet dark malts is realy a bit weak. Pours a magnificent dark brown. Burnt sienna head is alive and dense and thick....it never stops thru the whole bottle. First taste is a bit charcolish and bitter but soon the chocolate roundess is pronounced and is then taken over by the crisp hop and dark malt bitter finish. Legs are sparse and run freely down the glass. No sticking here, this beer wants to be consumed! Head is recharged continuously.A fine pint of stout.
