Rogue Ales: Kolohe No Ka'oi IPA

This New World IPA is/was brewed by Rogue Ales in Newport, Oregon, USA. It's achieved an overall score of 54.15%. Based on 1 tasting, the average ABV is 6.20%.

A one-of-a-kind hybrid of Rauchbier and Doppelbock, this is a nod to classic German beer traditions. This 9.4% alcohol by volume beer has a thick beige head and a dark amber pour. It smells smoky, like campfires with hints of caramel and toffee.

At first sip, the smokey notes bring to mind smoked foods. After a while, the malty sweetness of a Doppelbock takes centre stage. In the middle of the palate, hints of raisins and dark fruits like figs begin to show, which gives the flavour profile more complexity. On the palate, you'll find a combination of smoke and malt, and the finish is warm, which is a subtle indication of the alcohol content.

An intricate yet harmonious drinking experience is offered by Cinder Bock, which expertly combines the robust smokiness of a Rauchbier with the rich maltiness of a Doppelbock. For those in search of a strong and comforting beer, particularly in the winter, its full-bodied character and complex flavours are a great choice.
