1930 | Rogue Sriracha Hot Stout Beer | United States | Spiced Beer | 3.0
Aroma: 9 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 4 | Flavor: 5 | Overall: 5 650ml bottle <br> 5.7% ABV <br> Milton LCBO Outlet #1 (Milton, Ontario, Canada) <br> September 3, 2015 <br> The beer pours a solid black colour with a generous brown head which slowly recedes to a quarter inch or so. The aroma is cocoa, coffee, peppers, and yeast. The mouthfeel is weak to medium bodied with average carbonation. Quite possibly the thinnest American craft stout I've tried. The flavour was chocolate milk and chili peppers. A little bit of heat added to a very weak stout. I would think that a brewery like Rogue would have had a stronger stout to add the chili sauce to. |
