Rogue Dads Little Helper

Brewed by Rogue Ales
Style: Malt Liquor
Newport, Oregon USA

I agree with the general consensus here. The beverage is fine...for malt liquor. I thought the beer looked great. The copper color was nice. The aroma was definitely below average and without alot of character. Taste was decent. Sweet and malty with corn and fruit and a tad of hops. It finished with a little more alcohol taste than I expected but I’m not an expert on this type of beer. For more details, I reviewed this beer on my blog at http://mybaryourbar.com/2006/11/25/rogue-dads-litt

22oz. Bottle: Smells of corn, banana, and cumin. Poured a dark-golden/urine color. Big creamy, frothy white head lasted throughout. Clear. Lightly sparkling. Flavor is kind of sweet. Tastes of corn, malts, and a little sweet fruit, with some hops in the finish. Tastes like a high quality malt liquor. Medium body. Oily. Soft carbonation. Short sweet finish. Overall, a malt liquor I could at least drink, unlike many others. Warming on a cool winter day.

I had to have just one more for the evening.Nice golden color,small white head that had a decent hang time then fades slowly to leave a bit of lace behind.The aroma was mildly malty with some corn and mild hops.The flavor was not as bad as some ML’s i’ve had,malty and corny taste with a nice not over the top icky feel like some others and a mild but decent hop showing in the end.Pretty smooth brew all around and one i could definatley get used to having more often,Dad really like.

Like my friend nick76 said, this is the best malt liquor that I have ever had, Although it has the corn tasting adjuncts, its got a great amount of hops and malts. a buttery taste. Quite outstanding

The aroma is lighter on the alcohol than I expected but thats not a bad thing. It has mostly cereal malt. The appearance is orange gold with a small head. The flavor is very malty and not nasty like most of this style. The palate is smooth and well carbonated. This is the best malt liquor I have had to date.

22oz bottle-pours medium yellow with a small fizzy white head. looks like a true malt liquor. nose is sweet, lightly pheonlic with nots of plastic. Flavors show the sweetness, alcohol kick, and husky grain notes. this palate is pretty big, no wonder, its 7.2%. quite a bit of burn on the finish with aformentioned alcohol and adjunct. damn true to the style, but definately not a great beer. definately worth the try though.

This is probably the first malt liqour I’ve actually rated. I used to drink some Mickey’s malt liqour back in college, but that was probably the only other malt liqour I’ve drank before. I shoulda had a paper bag, some pork rinds, maybe rap music, but I just decided to rate it straight up, boyz. Pours a golden lager gold color, with an average white head. Interesting bubble patterns on my stella artois glass, which came in a belgian glass gift set my wife recently got me for my birthday. Aroma is sweet, pear, honey, corn. Taste is actually decent. Better than expected. I think Rogue does a decent job on this style. I would like to see how this matches up with DFH. Wouldn’t seek this out on a regular basis but that is more due to the style than anything else. For what it is, it was refreshing.

Pours clear and golden. Less than a minute there was virtually no head remaining. Just out of the frig there was zero aroma. As it warmed toward room temp some sweet malt became apparent. Sweet syrupy malt flavor with some corn. There is just a hint of hop bitterness. Probably a pretty good brew for a hot summer day.
