Rogue American Amber. A million times more delicious than cod worms.

Dead Guy was one of my first "holy crap, what is this?!" beers, so I'm really hoping this is good. Aaaaaaaand, it IS.

The slightly toasted malt gives the subtlest hint of a dark beer, a little like wood or nuts, while letting the hops play an equally subtle, co-starring role.

So it turns out were at Aaron Bs making sweet potato crusted pacific cod, see picture, as well as salt baked branzino. And just as Aaron is getting ready to dip a filet of the cod. BAM WIGGLE!!! He finds a worm on it! WHOA! Sam J gets on the Google, only to discover that, while
repulsive, they're pretty common and will not grow babies in your belly that eventually escape through your...

Back to the beer. In honor of his shared regional heritage with Rogue (Oregon), smooth demeanor and balanced, laid-back character, this beer is Sam J. He also is enjoying it with us and likes it quite a bit. The worm will not be enjoying the beer with us.
