Rogue Dead Guy Ale

12 oz. bottle from the LCBO, served at cellar temperature in a tulip glass. July 2008

App.: Medium amber, clear, fair off-white head. Aroma: Lots of nutty, fruity caramel and toffee, a bit of resinous hops, apples, pears, light Sultanas, a bit of vanilla, light tropical fruits. Palate: Medium body, medium-soft carbonation. Flav.: Much like the nose: lots of fruits, caramel, plenty of nuts, some resinous leafy hops; off-dry with a good shot of bitterness, burnt sugar finish.

Glad to have this at the LCBO.

Deep malty hop aroma. Clear dark orange with white creamy head that thins to nothing. Sweet malty hop mixed with grapefruit bitterness leaves a dry bitter after-taste. Hides alcohol well, was thinking 5ish. Finally available at LCBO in Ontario, thank the beer gods.

Bottle. Dark brown/amber pour. tight head with nice grassy nose. malty and full bodied. well done beer at the price point.

Bottle. Dark amber, cloudy with almost no head.Hop aroma with a hint of citrus. Creamy palate.Nice hop start with a malt finish.

Bottle. Pours a hazy orangish brown with one finger beige head and minimal lacing. Nose is malty and roasted nuts. Taste is nuts, toasted malt, some spice and a little bitterness in the finish. Medium mouth feel. Meh, kinda boring.

355 mL bottle. Pours clear amber with nice head. Aroma is very rich and fragrant - sweet and syrupy. Flavour is bitter and a bit spicy, with a bit of a metallic taste on the palate. Fairly bold beer, overall pretty nice.

Very tasty maibock. Unclear orange body with a cream-colored head. Light caramel, long-lasting flavor makes this a tasty brew.

Bottle. Orange pour, nice creamy long lasting head. Malty, ripe fruit aroma. Sweet, metallic and a bit rotten fruit. Unremarkable palate. Maybe if this was 8%, I’d rate it higher.
