Postmortem Brew Review
Solid brown with ruby cast tones.
Malty aroma; pleasingly sweet. Hearty dry nut aromas.
Practically no head that sticks around as a cover showing spotting of yeast.
Drying bitter chocolate on after sip with creamy finish.
Good amount of head coats the glass.
Surprisingly light bodied for a brown ale.
Grim Reaper's Eulogy
This one had been recommended by a friend for a while. I should have listened to him sooner. He was right on about this brown ale.
I found the head was non existant and the ale looked lifeless in the glass, but after tasting those smooth nutty flavors, it seemed to wash away any notion of doubt. Its maltiness and nuttiness come through with each smooth sip. There is a touch of sweetness in there,as well. There's also some good carbonation in this ale. No more doubt about it; this is a great brown ale any way you look at it.
Rogue! How do you make such great beers?
