Dark as a winter’s eve and smooth as Santa’s sleigh ride, this holiday stout is layered with chocolate, oats, and fruit notes to bring warmth to the season. Bold yet balanced, it’s the perfect companion for long winter nights.

Bottle. Rich roasted malt aroma with notes of dark chocolate, coffee, bread and cherry. Pours black with a finger of mocha brown head that has excellent retention and lacing. Starts with rich roasted malt, chocolate and bready malt flavors as well as having a full body and silky smooth mouthfeel. Finishes bone dry but quite smooth with coffee and cherry flavors. Good final iteration of this series.

Dark brown with moderate light brown head. Cherry, chocolate malt, and hay aroma. Mildly sweet cherry, chocolate malt, and mildly bitter dry hay flavor. Light body. Looks like this will be my last Rogue beer.

Bone dry, with notes of unsweetened chocolate and a little cascara backed up by hints of anise and coffee, finished off with a deep, bracing bitterness. Might be the last new beer I ever tick from Rogue, which sucks royally.
