Our Tastes-- Rogue XS Imperial Red Ale

Having quite a few of the XS series to go through we're trying a couple right now. XS Imperial Red Ale filled a pint glass with mahogany color and copper accents. The head is flattening (expected). his one is a bitter monster that hangs on the sides of your tongue like an African mountain goat. Malt is the initial taste though followed and lingered by pure warming EtOH. 9%abv, mmm, mmm. Made with Great Western Harrington, Klages, Hugh Baird Crystal, Black, Munich, Chocolate malts and rolled oats. Then hopped with Willamette, Cascade and Chinook. Dry hopped and given 58 IBUs, the site says to have a 7oz nip, sorry out of little nips, had to have a big nip. (typing nip is fun;)
