Our Tastes-- Rogue Brewer's Ale

Named after Brew Dawg (1993-2006) this beer 1st appeared in 2008 to pay tribute, like most brewers to their favorite brewing companion, the dog. There is a scary likeness to many beers that we have tried including, Ubu, Winter Cheer (Spanish Peaks) and others SweetWater..Barley. There seems to be an affection to brewers and large breed dogs including labs. This pours a great true medium brown with frothy tan head. Nose is an experience of hops over malt. As it rolls around in the mouth, I think to myself, "Damn I wish this had been brewed again". But alas this was brewed once and it retired. An American Strong Ale of 9%abv that I would buy a 100 times.
