Chatoe Rogue First Growth Creek Ale
The beer pours a cloudy dark amber/red color with a 1/2" white head that fades to lacing. The aroma is decent. It has a light and fruity scent that boasts of crystal malts and cherries along with a mild Belgian yeast character. The taste is decent as well. It has a smooth, crystal malt sweetness that goes down easy with a moderate Belgian yeast fruitiness. The addition of cherries elevates the taste and compliments the yeast esters. The mouthfeel is fine. It is a medium bodied beer with adequate carbonation. This is a good drinking beer, although it falls short for the Dubbel style.
