The attraction of drinking this is largely lost on me. Under any circumstances, or in the name of any style, ABV of 11.3% coupled with 120 IBU’s is getting close to a point that is perilously close to simply going too far. I understand the style, I understand the art of producing massive beers and I understand the role of these types of brew in the grand scheme of beer making and in the grand scheme of an evening’s drinking, but even to a fairly well experienced palate this isn’t much fun.

This is an unattractive, unbalanced drink that I can’t derive any pleasure from. In that light there sees little or no point in drinking it. In my experience, fairly typical of Rogue, in as much as the beer is simply massive for the sake of being massive.

Very little to endear this on any level.
