Got it from Meijers on sale, lets give it a whirl. Poured in a pint glass.

A: pours a cloudy amber, with almost no head and minimal lacing

S: smells malty, grainy, hoppy textures

T: tastes great, malted grains, good amount of hops

M: Crisp, carbonated nicely, not over bearing, refreshing

O: Impressive, a little pricey, but still a great refreshing beer, great for the fall season.

This beer is a real go to for me. Always delicious. The malts and hops are mixed just about as perfectly as can be on the palate. Color is a darkish brown that just makes my mouth water looking at it. While the smell may be lacking a little, the taste is a real mouthful

Rogue Ales - Dead Guy Ale - 1pt 6fl oz "bomber"

Look - Pours an almost clear deep copper amber with an inch thick soapy head that sticks around. Lacing present but slides. Minimal carbonation.

Smell - Malty bready caramel with a slight hop on top. Little bit of bite.

Taste - Malt, bread, rich and hearty fruit, with an ever so slight hop touch mixed with caramel for the finish. The taste more than makes up for the lack of breathtaking aroma.

Mouthfeel - Hearty and full, smooth throughout. Good drinkability. No booziness at all. Yeast and malt coat the palate.

Overall - This is a great representation of this style and beer in general. Once in a while you can live without the hop zing element and get back to basics, this hearty ale proves that.

22oz bomber into pint glass

A - a slightly cloudy dark orange/almost brown beer. only about an inch of head, which dissipates quickly. decent amount of lacing

S - bready/grainy malts, slight hops, and some yeast characteristics as well. not a lot going on in the smell

T - malt forward but a nice kick from the hops (citrus i think), which wasnt there in the smell. dried fruits permeate throughout, finishes very smooth

M - Medium bodied which is surprising given the booze content. well carbonated

Overall - A very nice offering from Rogue, not surprising this is their pride and joy and most heavily distributed. smooth drinking, good flavors. only complaint is from the nose, which is a minor complaint
