Brewer's Description: After the death of his wife, Henry Jackson Smart was left to raise his 6 young children alone. His courage, love, selflessness and dedication inspired his daughter, Sonora Smart Dodd, to organize the first Father’s Day on June 19th, 1910. In 1924 President Calvin Coolidge proclaimed the third Sunday in June as Father’s Day. President Nixon, in 1972, established it as a permanent day of national observance. Dad’s Little Helper Black IPA is deep mahogany in color with roasted malt and hop aromas and dense creamy head. It enters the palate with intense hop flavor and coats the tongue with a rich maltiness from the Rogue Farms Risk Malt.

User: sloshed  (2630 reviews/ratings)  Added: 08-21-2012 Location: Camp Sherman, Oregon Type: Bottle  Rating: More like a brown IPA (if there were such a thing) than a black IPA. Most of the flavor is piney hops with a fairly bitter finish. More or less unimpressive like most of Rogue's beers. User: beerlover420  (1413 reviews/ratings)  Added: 07-25-2011 Location: Auburn, ME. USA- Florians Mkt. Type: Bottle  Rating: I need to give up on this style of beer. I haven't found one, yet, that I enjoy. To me this tastes like bitter cocoa and burnt toast. If that is what it is supposed to taste like, than this beer is true to style. I give it points for that reason only and not because I like this beer.
