7 oz bottle for $3.99 at the Root Cellar.

Pours a cloudy, muddy brown with mahogany and bronze highlights. Little to no head remains after the initial pour. Light skimmings...

Complex malts, figs, leather and earthy hops on the nose.

Very complex malts in the flavor, as well. Very nice. I get a wonderful mix of coffee, figs, apricot, leather and general earthiness in the malt bill. Very nice.

Excellent, smooth and velvety mouthfeel with moderate carbonation. Very nice.

look: 4 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.5

Poured from a 7oz bottle into a Redhook Limited Release goblet.

Appearance- Murky, cloudy, amber/brown color with a nice foamy half finger head. Nice lacing probably due to the alcohol content.

Smell- Some cherry, vanilla, alcohol, malts, yeast. Sweet smelling.

Taste- Malts and yeast upfront. Alcohol flingers. Some cherry and raspberry I think?

Mouthfeel- A little syrupy, but the carbonation evens it out nicely.

Overall- Another great beer from Rogue. Damn good red, but if you don't like alcohol presence in your beer then you won't like this.
