My grading scale

It is subjective, but I think you'll be able to understand where I'm coming from:

1-3 "Horrible" : NEVER BUY THIS!!!! (Or buy it just to see what crappy beer tastes like.)

4-5 "Ok" : These beers need a little work. Usually from a company known for another type of brew.

6-7 "Good": It's ok, for now.

8-9 "Great" : Try this at least once, you'll be happy you did :D

10!!!!! "Godly" = This is attainable, but the most subjective of all grades. If I ever give a beer a 10 it'll be because it blows your mind.

Rogue Chocolate Stout

This is what I needed to finish my weekend.  After attending Oktoberfest I wanted something substantial.

Smell/Look/Pour - Great brown head that stays.   Smells of coffee and chocolate, so the chocolate is nicely balanced.  Dark, all you have to say about it.

Taste - The chocolate is more a dark chocolate than some others I've had.  Coffee flavor is mellow, behind the delicious, sophisticated chocolate.  It's hard to overstate the awesome chocolate taste.

Rating - 9
It's hard to find a balanced stout.  There's so many things that can go wrong.  This one won't disappoint, and I think this would even be a good starter stout.
