We're making a delivery today...a shipment of ROGUE SMOKE...most rauch brews are bottom fermented, however ROGUE SMOKE is top fermented. It is orange-amber in hue with a delicate smoke aroma and flavor with an intense hop finish. In All About Beer, August, 1995 issue, Christopher Brooks writes "Alder wood, indigenous to the Northwest, is the smoking agent, though a small amount of Bamberg malt is used in the mash, too. Beech is drier than alder, reports brewmaster John Maier, so we use a little of that for added complexity." The seven medals in nine years which Rogue Smoke won at the Great American Beer Festival in Denver are also a tribute to this unusual brew. Rogue Smoke is brewed with Great Western Harrington, Klages, Munich, Hugh Baird Crystal, Carastan (30-37 and 13-17), Chuck's Alderwood Smoked Munich and Bamberg Beechwood Smoked malts; plus Perle and Saaz hops. Rogue Smoke is available in the classic 22-ounce seriograph bottle. Measurements: 14.5 degrees Plato, IBU 48, Apparent Attenuation 76, Lovibond 20.6, 6.3% alc./vol..
Next week Smokeless should see the return of long-awaited ROGUE HAZELNUT BROWN NECTAR...a blend of Great Western 2-row Pale, Munich, Hugh Baird Brown, Crystal 80 and Crystal 135, Carastan, and Beeston Pale Chocolate malts; hazelnut extract; Perle and Saaz hops.HazelNut Brown Nectar is available in a 22-ounce bottle.
