John John Dead Guy Ale
22 oz. bomber, A: Pours a light amber/orange with a frothy medium white head, nice lace. S: English Toffee, light notes of oak. Not over the top, but a real elegant subtle whisky nose which I really liked. T: Unique whisky flavour to this one, not like a bourbon barrel at all, but you can surely taste the spiritious quality. Feels like a higher alcohol beer because of that, but the alcohol flavour doesn't come out. Malt is a tad hard to find, the whisky is in the forefront, with some bittering hops mid-palate, some peach cobbler and vanilla in there too make for an interesting flavour. I would have preferred a little sweeter finish, but this is really a nice beer. M: Soft carbonation feel, but biting at the finish. Full body and creamy. D: This is a delightful effort from Rogue. I'm not the biggest Rogue fanboy so I'm glad to try a brew this good from them. A little expensive, but it's nice to try something different.
