Tonight, I had Rogue’s Shakespeare Stout. The beer poured a dark black with a creamy head. It smelled of dark roasted malts. The taste was nice and roasted with some bitter chocolate, coffee, and hops flavors. It tasted and had a mouthfeel similar to an oatmeal stout, though it was a bit more bitter than an oatmeal stout. The chocolate came out more as the beer warmed and was tasted on the swallow. It had a nice body and was a very tasty beer. This is one I’d try again, though Susan found it too bitter, which was surprising because she loves stouts.

I love the Rogue Shakespeare Stout. Try their Chocolate Stout and Mocha Porter, too. In fact, I can’t think of a Rogue that I’ve tried which I haven’t liked.
I am quite fond of their beer. I just haven’t had any of their XS series in the ceramic bottles because I refuse to pay a premium for a ceramic bottle (we’re talking like $13-18 per bottle as opposed to like $5-6 for their regular beers).
Yeah, I’ve seen those. A little too pricey for me, too.
