Rogue - Shakespeare Stout

Rogue - Shakespeare Stout

Name: Shakespeare Stout

Brewery: Rogue Ales

Overall Rating:  B -

Style:  Stout

Serving Style: 22 oz Bomber Bottle

ABV: 6 %

IBU:  69

Price:  $ 6.99

Aroma:  Slightly hoppy, some malt and oats.  There is also a slightly flowery smell that is evident as well.

Appearance:  A dark but very dark bown color and  slighty creamy.  As you drink it the lacing just clings to the sides of the grass.

Flavor:  Not as strong as other Stouts that I have had.  There is a bitter chocolatey taste with a combination of malt.  Then you have the coffee kick in with a somewhat bitter taste. 

Mouthfeel:  A light body for a stout,  I usually expect something more chewy.  Smooth and  pleasant going down your throat. 

Enjoyability: Pretty enjoyable just not sure if I would have another go at this one.  I usually like beers with more abv but I like Rogue a lot so that is why I decided to give this one a try. 

Another take:  Rogue                                   Beer Oh Beer
