Day 44-Beer 44 Dead Guy Ale, Rogue Ales, Oregon Brewing Co.,Newport, Oregon

"Who cares how time advances? I am drinking ale today." Edgar Alan PoeTodays beer is styled after German Maibock Ale. The label was created to celebrate the mayan day of the dead and apparently grateful dead fans loved it so they kept it. The beer poured a cloudy amber/orange colour, with a creamy white head, very little lacing with a fresh malty aroma. A sweet caramel/toffee taste up front with a hint of hops bitterness but it has a very different aftertaste as the bitterness subsides to a syrupy/honey flavour. Overall not bad, certainly not a typical ale, 3.7 out of 5
