The Obligatory

An attempt to talk about three of my favorite beers in under 30 seconds, courtesy of Mr. Pereira's fancy camcorder-phone.

If you're interested and wanted a bit more info on these beers than my unrehearsed 30 seconds of alloted time could provide, here ya go.

- Rogue Smoke Ale: German beer from smoked malts. A thick ale with subtle smoke flavor that lingers. If you want something a bit spicier, I recommend the Rogue Chipotle Ale, which is pretty much the Smoke Ale with roasted chipotles infused in.

- Rogue Chocolate Stout: A wonderfully thick, rich chocolate stout. Not as rich as a Guinness, but with a more pure chocolate flavor. Actually leaves a chocolate residue in the glass when you're done drinking.

- Alaskan Smoked Porter: A dark, very robust smoky porter. Much stronger than the Rogue Smoked Ale. Now that I think about it, "tastes like camping" is probably the best way to describe this. Goes great with salmon, and is one of the few beers that can age in the bottle.

Maybe I'll do some more of these, too. Who knows?

You know... this could be the first really helpful segment of 'The Lush' assuming it still exists.

Only I feel silly because when you said that one of the beers 'tastes like camping' I immediately thought, 'mmmmm marshmellows' and then you mentioned pairing it with salmon.... which, as it turns out, tastes very little like a marshmellow.

Deuce... I want every product in my life reviewed by you, in 30 second video format, as quickly as possible.

Chip chop chip.
