Pros: Incredibly complex stout
Cons: None

Pros: Solid flavor profile, low price, widely available.
Cons: A little on the chalky side.
Summary: I have said it before and I will say it again, I am a fan of stouts. Those roasted malt, coffee, and chocolate flavors hit my palate just right and have me begging for more. Even as my palate has matured and my tastes have shifted to ... read more

Pros: World Beer Championships winner... and it smells great!
Cons: The bitter bite that grabs my throat and won't let go.
Summary: If there's one thing that Teykaerts kept pestering me about, it was whether or not I cracked into my stock of Rogue Shakespeare Stout. Finally, sometime in January I told him I would make the effort and enjoy my Bomber Bottle (22oz) while taking ... read more

Pros: Creamy, complex stout
Cons: none spring to mind

Pros: Creamy, complex beer.
Cons: Pricey and not for everyone's taste.

Pros: Rich, Flavorful, Creamy
Cons: Filling!
Summary: Stout is one of my favorite styles of beer. I enjoy most all types of stouts. I like dry varieties, sweet stouts, oatmeal stouts, cream stouts, and just about any other beer that has the stout name. Rogue Shakespeare Stout is brewed by the folks at Rogue ... read more

Pros: Spectacular combo of chocolate malt and dry finish
Cons: availability

Pros: Smooth - flavorful - non chalky
Cons: Larger bottle - a little more costly
Summary: Okay, lets first state that Stouts and other dark beers are not for everyone.
However, this beer by Rogue Brewing Company has surpassed nearly all others worldwide in smoothness, texture and flavor.
The complexity is there, but not ... read more

Pros: Nice flavors, a bit different than your standard stout
Cons: It's not Guinness, but still a good choice nonetheless!
Summary:
It would be rather unfair of me to compare Rogue Shakespeare Stout with Guinness, but I am afraid that I am going to have to, since they are both stouts, and pretty much representative of the brews from their categories (dry stout ... read more

Pros: Unique, full bodied, very hoppy
Cons: Costs a little more
Summary: This is not what I would consider your traditional stout beer in any sense of the word. Rouge has done something that most stout breweries don't do, they have added a lot of hops to give it a more complex profile and a truly unique taste.

Pros: Creative and full of tasty hop flavor.
Cons: Hops eventually completely subdue any sweet malty flavor.
Summary: Rogue takes radical license with its Shakespeare Stout. Just about everything about this beer is unusual, and that's the beer's strength. This beer earns its place as a classic brew because it takes the standards and completely reworks then into its ... read more
