Dedicated to Crustaceans
The name sort of says it all. John Maier, our Brewmaster, wanted to create a beer that defied traditional style definitions. The result was a remarkably hoppy yet balanced and malty ale that quickly became a cult favorite in our Newport brewpub. But what was it? It was not quite a barley wine and not quite a double or imperial IPA. Who really cares about putting beers into narrow categories? Great beer is great beer - just drink it and enjoy! 24°P. 8 Ingredients: Weyermann & Bohemian Malts; Bravo, Amarillo, Falconer's FLight & Warrior Hops; Free Range Coastal Water & Pacman Yeast.

Bottled. Ahazy golden beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma has notes of straw, fruit, yeast, and caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, caramel, spices, and straw, leading to a bitter finish.

Geile Flasche, aber das kann Rogue ja. Im Trunk schönes Gold, stabiler Schaum. In der Nase Honig, etwas Heu, soweit in Ordnung. Im Trunk etwas wie ein Bock, Honig, Malz, mittig hopfig, hinten trocken. Supergefährliche Drinkability. Bitte noch ein Glas.

Bottle of unknown age. When asked, the hirsute gentleman at the register replied, “Old as shit, man. You want a discount?” Hoppy beast of a barleywine, like a bucket of pine cones and juniper sprigs dumped into a bigger bucket of caramel. Lots of sprucey herbalness, some pencil shavings, some wet cardboard, mixed with a sweet bun backbone and Pacman yeast. Gets a little too bitter and herbal on the finish, but it could just be this bottle’s way past its prime. Regardless, it’s gorgeous, the alcohol’s an afterthought, and the nose is like snorting straight caramel. Curious, but not exactly good.

Grunt fill from Albertsons. Dark golden dragon en body, instant small, fluffy head. Big warm, malty aroma, taste Ramos up the heat. Boozy notes, sweet malts, small bitter hops bite. Really nice on this cold wet day.
