Oct 11, 2009 Pours into an amber slightly red tone. white head that does not last too long. Aromas reminds me of a pine forest after a small light rain. hints of sweet caramel. starts off sweet as it hits the tip of the tongue. then follows with a burst of pine and citrus. finishes with a lingering bitter taste definite grapefruit . A fantastic well drawn put together brew. Dry hopping this beer really makes it a unique experience. perfect for the fall or early spring. will pair well with a spicy beef taco and some Spanish rice.

Oct 1, 2009 Bomber at Scottyp’s. Semi-clear orange amber with good tan head. Great malty nose with a sweet hop. Flavor is a burnt and floral with a bitter hop finish. One of the best rogues I’ve had.

Sep 24, 2009 Bottle. It seems that Rogue beers can generally be placed in one of two categories: ordinary and great. This one is definitely in the second category. Pours dark amber with an off-white head that lasts fairly well. Aroma is of caramel, chocolate, raisins, berries and a hint of citrus. Flavour has notes of caramel, toffee and a little bit of dark fruit. Great balance between bitterness and sweetness. Will be buying this again.

Sep 23, 2009 dark brown red with good persistent head. very strong aroma of malt, raisin, port, wet wood, caramel. taste follows suit but on the dry side. nicely avoids being cloying. good acidic zingy finish but with a touch of metal. body is med light and soft. Wow, a red ale I’m not apathetic about.

Sep 23, 2009 Seriously good beer, caramel & citrus aroma, pour is dark copper with a big fluffy beige head that lingers and leaves good lacing.
Aroma profile follows through with some citrus and breadiness upfront and finishes with a nice solid bitterness at the end that coats the mouth with nice resinous hop residue but does not overwhelm.

Sep 20, 2009 Pours a nice amber color, a bit hazy from the dry hopping with a light beige head. Citrusy hop nose with a good caramel character. Good malt base, caramel notes and a citrus hop character. Clean and crisp with a nice long finish. A good bitterness, very enjoyable.
