Chatoe Rogue Dirtoir Black Lager. Schwarzbier. Rogue. Newport, OR.
Winter 2010/11.
My review on RateBeer:
3.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
AHTOH (28) - San Diego, USA - JAN 18, 2011
Bomber. Poured into Duvel tulip.
APPEARANCE: Pours pitch black. Opaque. Dark tan, creamy coffee colored head is about 2-3 fingers, frothy, and with lengthy retention. A bit of lacing is left for some time as head begins to settle.
AROMA: Huge roast aroma. Plenty of coffee. Some earthiness. Faint hops aroma, which seems herbal.
TASTE: Earthy/dirt characteristics much more evident in taste than aroma. The earthy/dirt taste is quite pleasant. Some light citrusy hops without much hop bitterness on front of palate; behind roast and coffee. Roasted malts mid palate. Back of palate and finish is characterized by dirt and some roasted malt sweetness.
MOUTH FEEL: Velvety, yet crisp – an outstanding combination.
OVERALL: A remarkably smooth and quaffable black lager that is true to its name in the sense that a pleasant earthy/dirt/terroir taste is evident.
