Dead Guy Ale - Rogue Ales

Maryland

4.25/5  rDev +7.1%
look: 4 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 5

Appearance: 650ml bottle with no bottling or freshness date. Pours a hazy copper color with a thick white head. The head starts to die down instantly to about one finger. Just a few spots of lacing as the beer gets lower in the glass.

Smell: Sweet malts, yeast, dried fruit and hints of honey. A great smelling beer.

Taste: Yeast, malts, and dried fruit (prunes?) that then get balanced out nicely by hops. The bitterness from the hops only comes through in the aftertaste, but does not last long. This is a great tasting beer.

Mouthfeel: Slightly creamy and carbonated feeling. The beer leaves the mouth feeling a little dry.

Drinkability: Endlessly drinkable. A great taste that does not dominate or wreck the pallet, in a beer that you can drink all night. An amazingly well balanced beer that everyone should try.

Serving type: bottle

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
