Rogue Shakespeare Stout

Brewed by Rogue Ales
Style: Stout
Newport, Oregon USA

Bomber from the local. Pours a deep black, no light getting through this guy. Big foamy coffee colored head eventually recedes leaving gobs of thick lacing. Chocolate, coffee, and roasted malts attack my olfactory system as I wait for this guy to settle. Bold bitter chocolate flavor backed up by an earthyness and roasted malts. A slight bitter tang and notes of coffee at the finish. Quite tasty, not too in your face intense...nice mild mannered stout.

Bottle. Poured a deep black with a nice beige head. Aroma was full of roasted malts with undertones of chocolate and coffee. Flavor had aggressive roasted flavors, a bit too much for me, but there was an undertone of coffee.

very smokey, roasty. too much for my tastebuds at the time when i drank it. i drank it right after an imperial, but even so, this thing did not do it for me.

Pours black with a thin, tan, disappearing head and some frivolous lacing. The aroma is pleasant but not terribly strong and consists of warm sugars, toffee and malt. Tastes of burnt coffee and sweet malt with some hops surfacing later on. Small amount of bitter chocolate at the very end. Overall a very nice stout, but not my favorite.

Dark, rich, potent stout from Rogue. I enjoyed this one and would definitely recommend it to fans of the stout style.

22 oz bottle. Pours pitch black, with a small, lasting head. "Wow" is the only word that sums up this stout. Prevalent bitter chocolate taste, but very smooth. Wow, this stout is delicious. In fact, I’m going to drink another one.

Brewed in the USA... Pours a very dark brown almost black in color with a small foamy beige head. Aroma of malts, chocolate and dark fruit. Taste of rich malts, chocolate, dark coffee and hops. Mouthfeel is thin for a stout, yet smooth with some prickly carbonation and hoppy bite at the finish. Overall, very pleasant and easy to drink !!!
