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
