Rogue
I went to Rogue this afternoon for a bite to eat and a nice little lunch.
It is a nice little pub, nestled in the Pearl section of Portland. 13th and Flanders, for those of you out here.
The food was decent pub burger. The beer was outstanding.
I had the Dopple Mogul, a taste of the Smoke Ale and the Chocolate Stout.
The Mogul was huge. This is their winter beer. 7.1% alcohol, big body, big hop, big taste. Dark and roasty with a wallop of hops on the outside. Roasty, dry and hoppy on the inside. The alcohol is not noticeable at all, and you can drink this fine beer until you fall off your stool.
The Smoke was light and thin in color, but had a nice smoke aroma to it. It tasted mighty smokey, you could almost taste the smoked barley.
The Chocolate is now my favorite chocolate beer. Brewed without a single ounce of chocolate, this beer is dark and tasty. Smells like chocolate, tastes a bit like chocolate, this beer stays with you for hours.
If you are in Portland, stop by Rogue, you'll love it.
