Rogue voodoo doughnut bacon ale

Had it last night and it tasted like I was inhaling smoke from a camp fire...

 

I've been relatively disappointed in every Rogue beer that I've ever tried and I've yet to try Voodoo Doughnut
but how is it that nobody mentioned the two BAs with the dog and cat avatars having the slightly heated exchange.Fuckin' cracked me up.

 

Aweful

 

RALPHIE??

 

What's wrong with that?!

 

It was exactly what I expected and I think they nailed it on the head on what they were aiming for. That being said, I drank a glass, enjoyed it enough, but could only drink one glass. It's a very strong smoke bacon flavor. I would try it again with breakfast or brunch though.

 

Very hard to finish a bomber. It started out smelling like what I expected- waffles and bacon smothered with maple syrup- so, not bad on that front. My fears were that it would get really cloying after a while, but was actually surprised by a harsh astringency by the end of the bottle. Definitely not worth the $$$, imo.

 

Just goes to show: Not every beer will taste good to everyone. Personally I didn't like Ten Fidy all that much, I found Samuel Smith's RIS to be much better. I did not see the big deal about Anchor Steam Beer. Hair of the Dog Adam was absolutely the most disgusting beer I've ever had. All three of these beers are highly regarded. It happens.

Of course, there are always potential factors such poor handling, freshness and possible infection.

 

Tastes like Tarzan; Smells like Jane.

 

I must try this beer now. I have an affinity for trying beers that are generally regarded as terrible. I drank an entire Cave Creek Chili beer and ate the pepper at the bottom.

 

I once accidentally ate a whole red pepper that was included in my fajitas at a Mexican restaurant (the restaurant was dark and it looked like a chopped red bell pepper). My stomach wasn't right for two days.

 

I got you on this one Hanzo. I have an extra bottle. Send me a BM and we can figure something out, it won't take much. Maybe just some help getting Bourbon barrel porter from Alewerks (which I'd pay for) since I'm out of town during the release

 

I think my local shop is getting some, as they were joking about it so I probably won't need to trade. But either way I'll help you out with the BB Porter when it drops.

 

It wouldn't be a trade. I'll give you the bottle of Bacon Maple Ale, I just need some bottles of BBP which I would pay you for.

 

I see, well that's a horse of a different color. If you make it to the tasting just bring it by so we can all see just how good/terrible it is. (as I am sure I couldn't drink the whole bomber alone)

 

Finally got to try this one at the Table of Terror this weekend. It was not great, but definitely not the worst beer on the table. That prize went to weatherdog's homebrew. It was so bad, he was proudly waving it under people's noses and watching them gag.

 

I suppose this beer delivered as advertised, but I poured out half of my 3-4 oz pour and will never drink this again. Any beer like this will always be a love it or hate it beer. Kudos to Rogue for trying.
