\n<\/a>\"\"<\/a>There are very few I would trust to make a drinkable bacon beer. \u00c2\u00a0The beer nuts over at Rouge Ales<\/a> are among of those few.<\/p>\n

Much like Dogfish Head<\/a>, Rouge Ales is willing nurture and execute insane beer ideas. \u00c2\u00a0While the mad scientist\u00c2\u00a0concoctions may not fit my everyday drinking style (or budget), \u00c2\u00a0I’m constantly impressed by the expanded conceptions of beer. \u00c2\u00a0The Bacon Maple Ale<\/a>–ingredients\u00c2\u00a0including Briess Cherrywood Smoked Malt, Weyermann Beechwood Smoked Malt, House-smoked Hickory Malt, and Applewood-Smoked Bacon–was no exception.<\/p>\n

Appearance: \u00c2\u00a0Rusty haze.<\/p>\n

Smell: \u00c2\u00a0Maple and a lot of smoke. \u00c2\u00a0Like opening a pack of quality thick-cut smoked bacon.<\/p>\n

Taste: \u00c2\u00a0My first thought actually wasn’t bacon, but breakfast sausage drizzled in maple syrup. \u00c2\u00a0As I tasted and smelled the bacon flavor grew into a sweet and savory combo. \u00c2\u00a0However, as the beer warmed, a sharp bitter finish began to develop.<\/p>\n

Mouth: \u00c2\u00a0Medium carbonation. \u00c2\u00a0A little creamy.<\/p>\n

Overall: \u00c2\u00a0This beer is a ton of fun. \u00c2\u00a0Though the bitter finish rains on the parade a bit. \u00c2\u00a0I can’t see myself drinking this often, but feel it would make a great morning beer with a plate of eggs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
