Rogue Chocolate Stout Review

Rogue (Eugene, Oregon) was one of the first craft breweries to make a name for itself on a national scale. Their Hazelnut Brown Nectar is one of my favorite beers of all time. Tonight I try their Chocolate Stout

Beer: Rogue Brewery Chocolate Stout
Abv: 6.3%
From: 22oz Botte
Vessel: Snifter
Temp: 48f


Pours a jet black color with a caramel head. Nose is quite malty with hints of chocolate, coffee, and vanilla. Tongue is only slighty of chocolate and very bitter. Really not that much going on here in terms of complexity, and the taste of chocolate in this stout is underwhelming. This would probably be very tasty after a night of pounding bud lights, but in comparison to the plethora of chocolate stouts out there, this is a let-down.

2.5/5
