Rogue Dead Guy Ale
Beer-a-Day #160
In the style of a German Maibock, using our proprietary Pacman ale yeast. Deep honey in color with a malty aroma and a rich hearty flavor.
Wow, I haven’t had one of these in ages. Probably not since the inception of Hop Talk.
It’s pretty. And it’s malty but a good balance of bitterness to counteract the sweetness. I like it.

An Imperial bitter with exotic traditional floor malts, citrusy, hoppy flavor, stupendous hop aroma.
I don’t think this is a commentary on the year just ending, but Freud would probably have something to say about it.
Orangey with a chill haze. Big citrusy hops aroma. Fairly big hops, but lighter than something that proclaims itself [...]

Reddish copper in color, a roasty malty flavor, with a hoppy-spruce finish.
Nice clear copper with a thick head. Malty aroma with a bit of resin. Very piney taste. Interesting. I’m not sure yet if I [...]

A double-hopped Red, reddish in color, with a roasty, malty flavor and a hoppy spruce finish.
Deep amber with a thick, beige head. Light aroma that deepens as it warms. Roasty flavor for sure; perhaps a bit too much.

I found a hidden gem in an offbeat section of Troy, New York: DeFazio’s Pizza.
I had stumbled upon the place using Yelp (or some other such app) on my iPhone. I was very skeptical at first having never heard of it before yet it had great reviews online. It also noted it as a BYOB. [...]

A full-bodied lager beer of exuberant and robust character. It’s muscle-man body comes from decocted German malts and noble German hops. Lagered long and cold to refine its strong temperament, St. Boisterous emerges smooth and seductive, with a malty sweet charm. This classic rendition of the German ‘maibock’ style will warm your heart.

I cracked open my bottle of Rogue Imperial Porter and served it with my NY Strip Steak smothered in caramelized onions & mushrooms. I had purchased this beer as part of my search for a favorite porter. Recently I noted that Victory’s Storm King Stout was closer to the porter I am seeking than any [...]

Back in October we tried an Octoberfest bake off (a taste test) and it wasn’t that successful. Nice.. not thrillin’, but nice. So when a different group of my friends suggested a blind IPA taste testing, I wasn’t very optimistic; but of course I was game anyway.
Surprise! Not only was it a great evening, the [...]

Sometimes I just have to try a beer based on the packaging. Morimoto Imperial Pilsner from Rogue is onesuch. It comes in a lovely, resealable ceramic bottle. Add to that my eldest daughter is really getting into all things Japanese and urged me to buy it.
It also turns out to have been on Ron’s Wish [...]

‘Tis the season of giving, so if anyone happens to be in the spirit of things, here’s what I want…
Just kidding, of course, but as I have been browsing the brews at my local candy store recently, I have come across a variety of beers that I have never tried before. These beers have caught [...]
