These beers appear at first to be pretty different, but actually reflect a similar approach—an effort at reclaiming the malty side of ale in an era that's been very hop heavy. That's not to say these beers don't do a nice job integrating carefully-chosen hop varieties—they do. But as a world beer championship judge said about Dead Guy, its a "hybrid style with bock-like maltiness but ale-like hopping." Bengali Tiger, for its part, balances assertive hops with a "strong foundation of rich malt flavors." What's certain is they both taste good.
