Sierra Nevada Torpedo IPA

Rogue Dead Guy Ale

Dead Guy poured a clear, copper color with a finger width, off white head. The aroma is malty, with some light hops. The body is smooth and malty with a little sweetness followed by a nice blast of clean hops. The finish leaves a lingering dryness.

Overall, this is a classic beer, one of my all-time favorites. The Maibock style is a wonderful beer when done right and Rogue has nailed it with Dead Guy. Well balanced, bold yet easy drinking and packing plenty of flavor, Dead Guy can be enjoyed by itself or paired with virtually any course of food.

The Bruery Rugbrød

Rugbrød poured a deep brown color with a thumb width, off white head. The aroma is malty, sweet breadlike. The body is short, malty, with a nuttiness, lots of rye and big amounts of spices throughout. The finish is packed with spices and leaves a dry finish. There was plenty of spider web like lacing left on the glass.

Overall, this is one of the more interesting beers I have tried in a long time. The label claims it is a danish-style rye ale, with The Bruery's website calling it a brown ale. The spices and malty backbone give off a Belgian-style winter warmer taste.
