Rogue Shakespeare Stout 22oz.

Pros: Incredibly complex stout

Cons: None

The Bottom Line: One of the best stouts on the market.

Review: The Rogue Ales Brewing Company of Portland, Oregon, likes to think that there is a little Rogue in all of us. I know for a fact there’s a little Rogue in me right now. Twenty-two ounces to be precise. That is because I just finished downing a bomber of...

Pros: Rich, Flavorful, Creamy

Cons: Filling!

Review: Stout is one of my favorite styles of beer. I enjoy most all types of stouts. I like dry varieties, sweet stouts, oatmeal stouts, cream stouts, and just about any other beer that has the stout name. Rogue Shakespeare Stout is brewed by the folks at Rogue...

Pros: Big roast barley flavor with coffee, chocolate, and everything luscious

Cons: Sometimes hard to find

The Bottom Line: Rich, robust beer with a dominant roast barley flavor that just begs to be savored slowly. Enjoy it with a hearty steak and kidney pie!

Review: Rogue has always been the kind of brewery that marches to the beat of its own drummer. Their beers are distinctively unique, but always a real treat to anyone who really loves great beer.

I've had more than my fair share of Rogue ales over...

Pros: Great complex mix of flavors and aroma

Cons: There aren't any

Review: In the primitive days of horse and cart distribution there were hundreds of breweries across the USA. However, following prohibition, and the invention of refrigerated trucks and preservatives, beer became a global, mass-market industry. Many smaller...

Pros: deep, rich, robust, roasty taste; smooth finish; suprisingly light body

Cons: because of its niche quality, it's unlikely lightweights will enjoy this (as much)

The Bottom Line: It's beer like this that make me realize how much I really appreciate the art and craftsmanship of brewing.

Review: One of the ways I measure my enjoyment of a beer is by how much I would like to drink more of it. In the case of Rogue Shakespeare Stout, simply drinking a 22oz bomber was not NEARLY enough. This is exactly what I look for in a beer: a strong flavor that ...

Pros: Rich well balanced stout

Cons: Dry and hoppier than most stouts

Review: Shakespearean Sonnet
(In iambic pentameter no less)

I grasp the church key in my hand and pry,
Oh virgin beer thy virtue compromised,
And in the air thy bottle cap doth fly,
Take wing, oh cap, thy duty realized.
...

Pros: Creamy, complex stout

Cons: none spring to mind

The Bottom Line: This creamy, complex stout is a classic. A true beer lover must try this beer.

Review: At the risk of being redundant, I'm going to extol the virtues of Rogue Ales. This world class Oregon Brewery has been providing peak beer moments since 1988.

One of my personal favorites among Rogue beers is the infamous Shakespeare...

Pros: Spectacular combo of chocolate malt and dry finish

Cons: availability

Review: Don't worry folks, my horrible title is a far as my descent into flowery poetry goes. In case you did recognize it, that is "humorous" adjustment to a littel poem that I wrote a few years back. You have probably read it, although I published...

Pros: Rich * Robust * Deep, Dark, and Chocolatey

Cons: Difficult to find in certain areas of the country

Review: Rogue Shakespeare Stout was my first foray into the world of dark beers. I was intrigued and entranced almost immediately. My husband slowly poured it into a pilsner, and the dark (almost black) stout greeted me with a deep, dark aroma and a rich tan...

Pros: Nice flavors, a bit different than your standard stout

Cons: It's not Guinness, but still a good choice nonetheless!

Review:
It would be rather unfair of me to compare Rogue Shakespeare Stout with Guinness, but I am afraid that I am going to have to, since they are both stouts, and pretty much representative of the brews from their categories (dry stout...
