Dead Guy Ale comes from Newport, Oregon's Oregon Brewing Co. It's a nice strong ale that I first enjoyed while working in Albuquerque, New Mexico. When I moved to Ontario, I was pleased to discover that they have in at some LCBOs.
Rogue Dead Guy Ale weighs in at 6.6% alcohol. It is sold in 355mL bottles that have an excellently cool label. This pale ale pours a slightly cloudy brownish orange colour. It's topped by a persistent cream head. It has a sweet, fruity aroma with a slight caramel vibe. It has quite a complicated flavour, encompassing malty sweetness, buttery caramel, and an alcoholic punch. The aftertaste is a nice balance between maltiness and mild hop bitterness.
This isn't the kind of brew that I'd reach for everyday. It's a touch too sweet to be a regular player in my fridge. Still, its a quality ale that really hits the spot when I'm in the mood for a big, malty brew. Definitely worth a taste.
