Rogue Frosty Frog

On tap at KClinger’s. Deep red with an off-white head. Lots of dark fruit and caramel in the aroma, alongside alcohol and a huge hop presence. I’d like to think that there’s a lot going on, but the hoppiness overpowers it all. Not bad, but a little over the top. And this coming from a fan of over-the-top beers.

Tap at Roman’s Pub. The beer pours to a very dark garnet body with an ultra dense creamy off-white head. The flavor is VERY BITTER. We’re talking 400 IBU bitter. Insanely bitter. I wanted to just paw at my tongue like a cat. This is a beer that you have to not stop drinking if you actually want to taste it. The initial shock of bitterness is severe but if you keep sipping without stopping long between sips, the bitterness isn’t very apparent. The aroma is very basic worty malt. The palate is overly bitter and makes my tongue hurt. What the hell were they thinking?

On tap at Freakin Frog. Amber color with a medium sized head. Very hoppy and leaves a bitter aftertaste. Nice if you are an IPA fan.

On draught at Brickskeller: Hazy redish amber body with a medium beige head that really sticks atop the beer throughout the whole glass, along with some lacing. The aroma has some alcohol, very bitter hops, pine, grapefruit, and caramel, with hints of sweet spice. The taste has some noticable alcohol, pine, citrus, grapefruit, caramel, light roast, pine bark, and very spicy hops. Finishes quite bitter with some sticky sweet caramel syrup and pine notes. Medium bodied, medium carbonated, thick & syrupy at times.

Draft, thanks for the sample argo0. Dark amber body with a creamy off-white head. The aroma is roast, caramel with plenty of piney hops. The flavor is fairly bitter, grapefruit, pine, caramel, somewhat dry, plenty of alcohol in this one. The mouthfeel is chewy with tight carbonation and a warm finish.

(draft) Cloudy brown body topped be a beige head. Aroma is medium sweet, grapefruit/pine, caramel. Taste is moderately sweet, pine, grapefruit, some caramel. Alcohol evident but not overpowering. Intensely bitter. Medium-full body, quite resiny.

Tap at Andy’s. Orange body with a tan creamy head. Bitter after taste. Good blend no notice an the %.

Tap, color and consistency of turbid water, very small off-color head. Aroma is very strong and earthy, definate raisin aroma and flavor, tastes as if aged in wine barrels, fantastic flavor - although not the best for somewhat warm evenings, would be better served during the dead of winter. I like this one, and will get it again (if the chance arises) in colder climates.
