Rogue Dead Guy Ale
‘Dead Guy’ Ale was the first beer that got me interested in ‘big beers’ after consuming brews like Miller Lite and Keystone all my life. I’ve yet to go back to anything other than craft beers since Dead Guy inspired my love for good beer.
Cracking the bottle, Dead Guy has an aroma of sweet malt and honey with a bit of alcohol vapors. It pours to a dark amber color. There is a light amber head with a finger of thick bubbles that take their time to dissipate. The first taste is of sweet malts. It is a full-bodied beer that highlights different flavors the longer it is held on the tongue. There are balanced aromatic and bitter hops and the sweet finish lingers. This is a beer to sip on and savor.
The alcohol content (6.5%) will warm your stomach. It is great beer well worth the money, if you have the spare coin. I paid $9.49 for a 6-pack.
