Seafood, Hot & Spicy Rogue Dead Guy Ale German Maibock In the style of a German Maibock, using our proprietary Pacman ale yeast. Deep honey in color with a malty aroma and a rich hearty flavor. Pork, Hot & Spicy Rogue Cap'n Sig's Northwestern Ale India Red Ale Deep red in color, this ale starts off with a floral, slightly citrus hop nose, hop flavor soon fades into the malty backbone of this red ale. Beef, Seafood Rogue Chocolate Stout American Stout Ebony in color with a rich creamy head. The mellow flavor of oats, chocolate malts and real chocolate are balanced perfectly with the right amount of hops for a bitter-sweet finish. Beef, Desserts Rogue Mogul Madness Ale Winter Ale Hoppy, caramel aroma, dark burgundy in color with an off white head. Intense flavors of citrus hops, and complex notes of nuts, berries and mocha. It finishes long and lingers for at least 15 seconds. Poultry, Spicy Rogue Irish Lager Lager An Irish style lager with a smooth mellow flavor and an apple crisp finish. Perfect for floating Guinness!

Beef, Desserts Rogue Yellow Snow IPA India Pale Ale Pale golden in color with a hoppy fruity aroma. Big hop flavor up front complemented by medium body and hoppyness mid-pallet.

This massive hop monster has a wonderfully delicious and intensely bitter flavor on a refreshing malt base. Beef, Hearty Fare, Pizza Stone Arrogant Bastard Ale American Strong Ale This is an aggressive ale. You probably won’t like it. It is quite doubtful that you have the taste or sophistication to be able to appreciate an ale of this quality and depth. We would suggest that you stick to safer and more familiar territory–maybe something with a multi-million dollar ad campaign aimed at convincing you it’s made in a little brewery, or one that implies that their tasteless fizzy yellow beverage will give you more sex appeal.
