Another hefeweizen to add to the research project. • This beer pours cloudy orange caramel with white rim. Fairly twiggy hops presence over creamy wheat ale with notes of orange and/or lime, banana and allspice more than clove. I think that twigginess places it behind Butternuts' Heinnieweisse …

A mahogany ale under beige head that resolves to an edge. Soft water semi-moreish. This beer cross-references both the Chocolate Stout and Morimoto Black Obi Soba Ale from Rogue. There is the dusky dry chocolate of the stout as well as the limey citrus and lighter body of the soba ale. The effect …

Soba, eh? Buckwheat to most of you. Rogue, however, has made a celebrity chef beer out of it. Celebrity Iron Chef, that is. I don't know what to make of it, holding the beer in hand, cap unpopped...celebrity beer. The brewerys notes state: • “Black Obi Soba is brewed with roasted buckwheat and …

Disarmingly complex. • Red-garnet with orange tinge ale under a creamy off-white foam and rim head. The aroma is sweetly malty with some fruit-juicey notes. A combination of soft water and low carbonation makes this particularly moreish. In the mouth, rish sweet bisubuity malty with juicy cherry …

More than a few years ago I was in a pub and saw on the chalkboard "Special: liver and onions 12.99". When the waiter arrived I asked what was so special? • I have only disliked one beer so much I was quite confused and frustrated and that was a jalopena beer made long ago - but thankfully no …

Another gem from Rogue. The first impression is of minty hops over roast barley and creamy yeast. The aroma is what you wished coffee was really like in the morning, nice mocha head over deep brown beer. It is actually deceptively simple at first sip. The hops have the mintiness of Guinness's …

Picked this up for 3.79 USD for 650 ml over the other side. A big beige merengue head, leaving rings of foam rather than lace. A heavy layer of lime rind hops cuts though rich cream raisin crystal malt with a sugar cookie biscuity thing. A hint of smoke maybe? A nice red amber. A really good beer …

Another seasonal release by the LCBO and the offering of one more Rogue Ale. As discussed before, the biggest monopoly in the market left in the world, only seems able to stock Rogue ales one at a time - next Saturday, I will be at a corner store with ten. Two months ago it was their

I mentioned in a post below how I am amazed how the LCBO - Liquor Control Board of Ontario - cannot stock shelves better than a decent corner store in the USA. With the monopoly of 12 million people behind it, the LCBO is the greatest buyer of beer, wine and spirits in the world. The biggest used …
