Great pour. That head is delicious, people will knock you for it but good beer has good head.

[jjrudy41]

@kingbuzzo25 wow you got to be a first. a lot of people knock me for my pou and head. i admit this one was not my best pour. but ill take a nice large head like that over no head anyday.

[kingbuzzo25]

@jjrudy41 I do think youre crazy if you like Young's more than this though. :)

[jjrudy41]

@kingbuzzo25 there both so good (youngs in a bottle)... but i like the double chocolate of rogues better than youngs...

[mesuhlikemusic]

My favorite beer, lately... It changes often. But this one. Is Delicious.

[jjrudy41]

@mesuhlikemusic try the double. its twice as good....

what a shit pour jay and pig on the left 

[jjrudy41]

@603tonyd my left or yours? yeah that was a shitty poor...

[StephenDickerman]

do you use the ratebeer scale of rating? and are you a user on ratebeer?

[jjrudy41]

@StephenDickerman i used to be, but i found my self not having time with both, so i just do these instead. as far as grading. i use to use that scale, but i found it getting arbertrary distigiwishing between a 3.1 and 3.2 so know i just rate the beers on a good bad scale... i think it allows me to have a greater range for each type of beer.. at the end of the day isnt that all we care about... whats your thougths?

[StephenDickerman]

@jjrudy41 I rate on ratebeer. and I do like their scale, but I think they don't give enough importance to appearance and palate, and credit too much to the arbitrary "overall" criteria. I think if overall were to be decreased and increase the other two it would be a good system. I think you do a good job of rating, between average to good to great to exceptional. I haven't gathered yet what might be lower than average, but I have faith in your scale.

[jjrudy41]

@StephenDickerman i think there scale is really good. and the one i refrence the most. but like you said there are minor issues. like what you pointed out is a perfect example. you will see in some of my older videos i used that scale. but for the porpose of letting viewers at home know what i thought of a beer i thought this was the better way to go... so that was the reason for the switch... glad you like my videos. i hope you subscribed...

[TheElephant79]

And then you had a threesome.

[jjrudy41]

@TheElephant79 ha.. no im a happily married man...

[monkeycaveman]

This beer has become one of my top 5 beers along with Samuel smiths oatmeal stout . Just a wonderful example of a chocolate stout and far better than youngs IMO.

[jjrudy41]

@monkeycaveman some people do like this better, i guess it comes down to persoanl prefrence, but since this review, i have had even better chocolate stouts than both... but this still is a great beer.

[alfabravocompany]

what are your top 5 ROGUE beers??

[jjrudy41]

well i only have had about 10 of there beers. so naming 5 would be about half of what i have had from them. so i will give you three.... in no particular order. the chocolate stout, the shake spear stout, and the xs russian imperial stout. hows that???

[craftbeerlover]

i LOVE this beer

[jjrudy41]

me to.

[25openmind]

i'm suprised you dont notice or speak about the hops in the beer. For me its really noticeable. The beer has 69 ibu's, i can smell it and really get it at the finish of the beer. My favorite chocolate stout, great combonation of dark chocolate and hops.

[jjrudy41]

i don't find it that hoppy. i find the finish a little bitter. but the ibus are high. i might not have mentioned much of that because of the multiple people doing the review with me. but i love this beer so much.

[chrissept21]

do you no of any beers that use nuts for taste

cuz im allergic to them soooo i dont wanna die lol

[piche2001]

You need to pour your beer like the beer man at a ball game, like a 45 degree angle on the glass with the top of the bottle touching the glass, and slowly turn the glass.

Otherwise, nice review. I like Rogue Chocolate Stout.

[jjrudy41]

thanks. i'm glad you liked it. i get  most of my criticism for my pour, but i love a huge head.

[piche2001]

I love head too, just not when it comes to beer.

[jjrudy41]

ha!!!

[DETHANAUT]

You are witty.

[fa272]

I agree..I always do a semi rough pour so I can gauge the color of the head. Btw..this beer is the best chocolate beer I have tasted.

[jjrudy41]

cool. its my second favorite chocolate beer ever.

[musikpal]

My opinion, young bottle gets 7, canned gets 6 n Rougue Choc gets 10.

[jjrudy41]

there all so good.

[andrew9395]

you should have the chick on your left to teach you how to pur a beer lol, she did a good job , looks better too

[jjrudy41]

my left or yours??? i like my pour. i like a big fat head. if i really take my time i can do it all on one shot.. .but who has time for that. ;)

[andrew9395]

he dont worry about it, im just fuckin with ya, pour a beer however you like you paid for it after all. and the one on your left, my right poured it perfect 5/5 nice reviews man you chad and jjdaven do this the best I like ozzy's too

[jjrudy41]

i'm glad you like the videos. yeah her pour did come out perfect.

[thomast0729]

You're a lucky man, beer and women.

I do like this beer. It took a little getting

use to. But all in all a good beer. The cost

will prevent me from buying it again. I don't believe it's worth the cost.

[jjrudy41]

and my woman was the one who filmed it. you cant beat that. yeah it is costly, but its a good one. if you want something similiar and a little cheaper (about 11 bucks a 6 pack) try fort collins chocolate stout. i also did a review of that as well.

[jjrudy41]

yes! 100 views.

[DenisLD]

Wow, that's an amazing beer review right there! It's just as informative as it is entertaining! Excellent! +)

[jjrudy41]

thank you very much... I really try to make my reviews entertaining as well as informational, and try to do different things each time. so thanks for noticing.

[helmineron]

I agree with Chad, I like the Rogue Chocolate Stout better than Young's, this happens to be one of my favs from Rogue. Why should Chad get to do a review with your hot chick friends? Send them out here on a plane with a camera and we'll all be happy!

[jjrudy41]

i guess it comes to preferance, there both great beers. I like young's a little more, but like i said there are days when i prefer this one over youngs. this is my favorite beer from rogue as well. but they also have there shakespeare stout thats also great. thanks for watching

[jjrudy41]

oh and ill see if i can get the girls to fly out to you... ;)

[helmineron]

lol

[Chad9976]

better into music, by the way. I'd recommend cutting it down a few seconds so there's no lyrics.

[jjrudy41]

i like the other one better, but i had t change it, it would no longer et me use the other one. i like have just the beginning of the lyrics.

[Chad9976]

If you're going to have hot girls over to do reviews I'm gonna have to come over more often!

I actually like Rogue WAY better than Young's. The chocolate taste was much richer in Rogue. Young's was bitter and faint. I'm gonna have to try Young's in a bottle.

And it's ROGUE, not Rogue's.

Good review though.

[jjrudy41]

i know its rogue. but when i'm refering to there product, i add the "s" because rogue is the company that makes the beer.

they do want to do another beer review with me. so maybe.

[Chad9976]

I feel like I've met them before. They seem familiar.

We should do a review of Guinness on tap somewhere, like at Mahar's.

[jjrudy41]

i don't think mahars would even have guinness on tap. but i would do a review at mahars. as soon as my schedule frees up.

[Chad9976]

Really? I'd be surprised if they didnt. Last time I was in there the bartender was wearing a Guinness shirt.

[jjrudy41]

if the name of the beer was "rogue chocolate stout" then i would just say rogue, but since rogue is the name of the company that makes the beer, and there chocolate stout is just one of there many beers. thats why i say rogue's "chocolate stout"

[Chad9976]

Yeah but you wouldn't call it 'Bud's Light" or "Miller's Lite" or "Sam Adams's Boston Lager" - right?

If the name of the brewery is possessive, like Young's, or Brown's- then I'd say it's okay. But otherwise I'd just go by the name of the beer. Look at beeradvocate and ratebeer - they don't add the 's - right?

And just from a market research viewpoint consider that people are more likely to search for Rogue Chocolate Stout than "Rogue's" so you're costing yourself some views.

My 2 cents!

[jjrudy41]

ok so you talked me into dropping the "s" . but i cant do anything about current video. however adding the "s" still doesn't make it wrong, since i'm saying the maker of such beer. and i wouldn't have called it bud's light. if anything i would have called it budweiser's bud light, but thats redundant, so in that case i would have just said bud light.

[Chad9976]

It's a matter of semantics. I consider the name of the brewery as part of the name of the beer, but you make the disconnect. I think most people consider the name of the brewery as part of the name of the beer.

[Depnick]

Well i'm glad we actually got to hear the review.

When are you reviewing sam smiths oatmeal stout?

[jjrudy41]

yeah i had a copy right issue. I had to rebroadcast. Sam smiths coming up soon. thanks for watching.
