May 3, 2008 Bomber. Dark Brown/Black, very little light passes through. Nice mix of hops and roasted malts, with a touch of coffee and chocolate. Very good.

May 2, 2008 On tap. Pours an opaque black with dark mahogany hints around the edges. Served with a dense one-finger tan head that showed very good retention and lacing. This one looked quite nice. Smell is dominated by sweet roasted chocolate malts with strong coffee aromas. There was also a noticeable hop aroma in the background. I was actually pleasantly surprised by the strong bitter hop presence up front in this one which quickly gave way to the big malty chocolate and coffee taste. Hint of dark fruits gave way to the slightly bitter hop finish. Mouthfeel is really nice on this - very creamy for such a medium bodied stout and a small amount of carbonation. This was an excellent stout for me and it surpassed my expectations honestly. I don’t know if I could drink more than one in an evening, but that one was damn good.

Apr 28, 2008 Bottle. Pours out a very dark brown/black color. Has a small tan head that disappears quick. Aroma of espresso and oaks with a hint of chocolate. Palate reviews malts espresso and hops. Finishes smooth. Clings lightly to the glass. Very good taste and presentation.

Apr 26, 2008 22oz bomber. Pours a deep brown with a tan head. moderate lacing. Nose is coffee, chocolate and toffee. First sip brings a roiling mixture of malt, coffee, malt and a nice undercurrent of hops. Mouthfeel is smooth and silky. Chocolate aftertaste. This one’s a keeper.

Apr 25, 2008 I am a big fan of porters and stouts and this one is a winner. Dark beer with a nice brown head. Roasted chocolate and caramel taste. I have been thoroughly impressed with Rogue brews.

Apr 23, 2008 Black pour with brown head; aroma has caramel, roasted malt, and a little bit of hops. Tastes of roasted malt and coffee with bitter chocolate finish, nothing very sweet here. Very close to having a bit of licorice in flavor. Medium palate with creamy mouthfeel and good carbonation; very drinkable.
