Rogue Frosty Frog

Draft on 15th at Summit’s Atlanta. Muddy brown with a moderate head. Sweet caramelly malt aroma, with some dark fruits in there and some grassy citrus hops. Similar malty flavors with the grassy citrus hops, and it seemed a bit less fruity than the aroma. Clean finish. Decent beer - it was good, but at the same time, it wasn’t a wow for me.

Murky reddish brown color with a decent white head. Aroma is nutty and full of obvious malty sweetness. Unfortunate raisin and butter flavor with an abrasive bitter finish. I found myself enjoying this beer less with every sip until I finally pushed the glass away about 3/4 of the way through. It’s just not good.

Ehh, against the grain on this one. Looked great, a hazy dark brown with a tan head, and had a decent spicy/hoppy aroma. Taste was definitely malty but a quite unpleasant combination of spices and hops that assaulted my tongue. Usually i like beers with lots of odd ingredients, this one just fell short.

on tap at Speakeasy in Chapel Hill, NC. went out on a limb and tried this one--always up for trying something new. i must admit my first impressions of this brew was the overpowering maltiness mixed with sugary molasses aroma and flavor it presented itself with. wasnt really sure i liked it at first, but knowing what i know now (thats its almost 10%abv) i can reconsider my rating. could definitely taste that alcohol but didnt think it was that high. was my first and only beer of the night. poured a dark amber brown with a small white head that dissipated rather quickly. very full flavor and body. would like to try again. wish i could have drank it slower but my company did not allow it. one of the more interesting beers rogue has produced.

Pretty wonderful pint of beer, lots of malt dark fruit and spices in aroma, texture was smooth and creamy,some backing bitteness but the taste was so big malty and fruity that the bitterness wasn’t a factor. I was engaged in conversation while drinking this and several times just stopped talking to marvel at what a fine brew this was

Tap@RedlightRedlight, Winter Park, FL. Hazy dark brown/ruby with a large, creamy, off white head. Aroma of roasty malt, resinous hops, dark fruit, molasses. Same flavors in addition to some anise like spice with the hops picking up some piney notes. Same pacman yeast? Tasting a bit of belgian character in there somewhere. Full, balanced body. Kind of syrupy in the finish. Nice warming, hop heavy, winter brew. A steal at $3 a pint.

Draught at Tyler’s in Durham, NC. Attractive hazy brown color with a commanding creamy off white head that laced the glass. You can definitely smell the raisins, but there is also a hint of cinnamon, alcohol, and sprucy hops. Smooth, warm, and slick. Raisin comes out again in the flavor along with the alcohol and molasses. There is also a bit of hop flavor in the background and a pleasant bitter hop finish. Nice.

Draught at Barley’s in Knoxville. Pours a dark, hazy red with tight beige head that leaves a wall of lacing. The aroma is very malt, with sweet raisins, leafy hops, and a trace of alcohol. The flavor is mostly assertive hop bitterness (though with very little actual hop-flower flavor) and is quite robust. Under all the hops is some baking chocolate, earth, ash, prune, and raw grain. The bitterness lingers for quite a long time, but is not unpleasant. Very warming, too.
