The bottle is ceramic and can be used in bottling your own beers! This is an award winning bottle so make sure you save it for your collection.

The beer pours a golden haze with about an inch of head. The head holds very well and has a crisp white color. Not a ton of carbonation and looks similar to many hefeweizens.

The smell started off very sour. It has a strong yeasty smell and the signature pilsner skunk aroma. Based on the smell, I wasn’t real excited to give it a taste.

The taste was surprising. Very smooth, had the czech skunkiness but not overpowering and was very drinkable. After tasting the beer, the smells mellowed out and I could get much stronger smells showing through. It was tough to get through the sour smell but once you were past it, this smelled and taste pretty good. I would drink it again!

The American Ale gives off a floral-hoppy aroma with some hints of citrus.

The beer is refreshing and has a nice crisp bite to it thanks to the extra hops added during the brewing process. For an ale its one of the hoppiest we’ve tried. Rogue did a great job at creating an American Ale that stands out.

Overall this beer was above average we did enjoy it and it had a unique taste and character to it that Rouge is able to instill into their handcrafted beers.

Rogue makes some exceptional beers and we love our stouts. This one is 6% alcohol and is rated very high on most other sites.

The Shakespeare Stout pours a dark black with a rich burnt brown head. It poured perfect and is exactly how I would like a dark stout to look. Great lacing, head retention, color, etc.

Our Rogue stout had a very nutty, chocolaty, vanilla and coffee smell. Almost a toffee caramel hint also. The bubbles and alcohol give you a tingly feeling in your nose. It smelled smooth with a small bite.

The first thing I notice was the very very smooth mouth feel. It helped make this exceptionally easy to drink and really opens up the possibilities for pairing with food. It has a bold rich bakers chocolate taste with hints of espresso. If this was on nitrogen, it would be a perfect 10 overall. I will be buying plenty more of Rogues exceptional Shakespeare Stout.

The Honey ale pours a cloudy lemonade looking brew that almost looks like a heffe but is a little bit lighter and is topped of with a 2 finger head with decent retention.

not sure if it was my alegies acting up that day but the beer really didnt have much to it as far as aroma goes.  I detected a very mellow citric aroma after letting it sit for a minute. but not much else.

When I first tried this Rogue ale I tasted a mild citric flavor and some hints of orange as well. Reminds me a bit of a heffeweizen with the lemon and orange wedges. theres a little sweetness to this beer and thats it. A very mellow beer with nothing that really stands out about it, an average beer that would really only appeal to me for repurchase if I was preparing for on a hot day by the pool.

As the title suggest this Beer is brewed with hazelnuts which was inspired by home brewer Chris Studach. This is a truly amazing brown Ale, So amazing in fact that I would say the Hazelnut Brown Nectar is in my Top 5 favorite beers.

The  Brown Nectar has a nice warm honey color with a nice clean 2 finger somewhat fluffy head that sticks around. you get a nice woody nutty smell with just hints of sweetness up on smelling this brown ale which is very inviting. A nice aromatic ale indeed.

Now for the taste!

Refreashing nutty taste warm hazelnut almost Bread-like flavor to it. A very flavorful beer, the Addition of Hazelnuts was a great touch it definitely completes this beer and compliments the ale in every way. its what makes this beer stand out so much… its NOT just another brown ale. The Taste comes in two waves. Again the two waves of taste only enhance the experience as the differences compliment each other so well to deliver a solid great taste.

Very High drinkability. 2 or 3 and your set.
