Rogue Shakespeare Stout

Brewed by Rogue Ales
Style: Stout
Newport, Oregon USA

Bomber. Pours a dark brown with a large, tan head. Aromas are chocolate, maybe oats and grain dust and a touch of pine hops. Flavor is similar to nose, but it isn’t a very full palate, which makes it fairly disappointing.

Pours jet black with choc orange coloured head. Aromas dominated by coffee and chocolate with hinting dark fruit. Palate is maltier than previously sampled Choc Stout. Displays some liquered fruit and finishes with dry coffee roast and very slight sour tang from oats.

Quite classical. Chocolate and roast flavours drive the palate quite convincingly. Good balance and well made.

Dark Amber, modest tan Head, looked just like Mocha porter but with more smoke, less vanilla, and less overall flavor. Too much alike so quite dissappointing for a Brewer of such reputation

pours a 1\4 inch tan head, and is a beautiful dark non translucent color. aroma contains hints of mocha and toasted malts with metallic undertones. tastes great surprisingly the metallic taste is great with the roasty barly mocha flavors. very smooth on the palate .

I think this is a great beer, both on tap and out of the bottle. Pours a dark black with a huge tan head. Oatmeal and bitter chocolate dominate the nose, with a slight hint of coffee. Flavor is chocoffee with a bitter finish. A little light for a stout, but the flavor is excellent. If this were a little heartier, it would rank 4.6-4.8.

Absolutley love it! This beer is the one that steeredme away from the american lager. amazing bold taste with a cream aftertaste. one of my favorites

Bomber. An aggressive pours results dark mahogany black with a 3 finer tan head. Decent lacing. Nose is oatmeal, milk chocolate and light roasted coffee. Taste is roasted malt, light chocolate and black coffee with a hoppy finish that lingers. Lighter mouth feel than I expected. Would be really good with more body.
