Originally I was given 1 this Rogue Chocolate stout to use for my talk/tasting at the Temple Bar Chocolate Festival but I ran out of time so in the end I drank it at home. The smell is of a very sweet toffee with dark chocolate however none of this is evident when you taste it. It is very bitter dar ...

The histories behind certain beers, while not necessarily enhancing the flavor, do enhance the experience. A beer created with arbitrary motives is sure to disappoint, but a beer created to please both the creator and the consumer may posses a slight advantage, as care and consideration were not neg ...

Everything is getting darker this time of year…the leaves, the sky (at least here in Ohio!), my sun-bleached hair, and our Sip With Us Saturday beers. Last week we tested the waters with Warsteiner Dunkel. This week we are going to go darker, thicker, and bolder with the craft classic, Rogue Chocola ...

Amiably smooth tan-headed brown-bodied milkshake-like dessert treat nowhere near as ferociously heady as beastly name implies. A tad watery for ‘luscious chocolate stout’ status, but truly rewarding as moderate-bodied crossover for dark lager stylists. Mildly creamy brown chocolate-y cocoa bean swee ...

It has been a while since I posted. A very busy summer and severe disappointment with my Tripel. Way to sweet and about 90% of the bottles were very flat. I’m not sure if I didn’t clean adequately or if there was something in the secondary that contaminated the beer. I’ve had to pour several bottles ...

Yesterday was the Chile Pepper Fiesta at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. There was a Chocolate Chile Cabana, so naturally, I had to check things out. In my hand, here is some Chocolate Chile Ice Cream and a ginger cookie. It was one of the items in the Peppers ‘N’ Chocolate Takedown: an amatuer cooking ...

After a rather crazed Labor Day weekend (wherein the Cha Cha Hut made its official commercial debut), we decided to journey to Oliver’s Discount Beverage in Albany to restock a quickly dwindling cellar. I once stated the selection here is much smaller than Half Time in Poughkeepsie, but what is ther ...
