Commercial Description:
JLS Release #34: Double Dead Guy ~ initially released in kegs for JLS accounts, this new elixir will be launched in 750 ml ceramic bottles in the spring of 2008! D2 (our nickname for Double Dead Guy) is a new reincarnation of Rogue's classic Dead Guy Ale. Mahogany in color, full bodied with an amazing mid-palette richness of toffee and caramel. The hops are evident also, with just enough to keep the maltiness in check. The finish lasts > 15 seconds!! D2 is Double the Fun! Malts: 2-row Pale, Munich, C15. Hops. Cascade for boil (because John was out pf Perle) and Crystal for aroma (because John was out of Sterling ...) IBU's approx 50-60. 19.8 Plato Original Gravity, 4.9 Plato Terminal Gravity.

Bottle thanks to Beth. Amazing beer. Pours a slightly cloudy amber color with minimal head. Sweet and caramel nose. Tastes of pineapple/citrus with malty finish. Very well balanced and cant tell its 9.5%.

pours dark copper/amber with no real head. aroma is sweet and malty but has some nice floral hop notes that come through. drinks smooth and sweet caramel malt up front and has a nice cut of some citrus from the hops to balance the sweetness. finishes a little bitter with some alcohol bite.

Bottle shared by hallinghansen. Deep bit hazy amber body with an off white head. Sweet malty aroma with hoppy notes. Some fresh fruit and some spice as well. Flavour is sweet malty and barley wine like. A good hoppy touch matches the taste of ripe fruit very well. Medium mouthfeel. Good balanced beer.

Poured a deep amber color with little tlo no head that laced the glass a little. To the nose it was sweet with floral notes. When it first it the tongue it was sweet almost toffee. The finish was a tart grapefruit that sticks around for a while. Overall this is another quality beer from Rogue and I would buy it again.

2009 bottle. Poured a dark amber color with a nice fluffy head. This beer had very good lacing. Malty smell and also sweet fruit and a hint of spice (pepper). A sweet caramel malt taste with a nice balance of citrus hops. Loved the slightly bitter finish. Thought this was much better than the Dead Guy.

Aroma of floral and fruity notes with hops. Taste the same, with some alcohol notes in the ending. Nice

Red 750mL bottle. Poured near-clear ambery-orange with a short cap of off-white head. The aroma picked up honey, caramel, and darker fruity maltage accented by earthy and medicinal character.. the honey and fruity I got outta here made it almost malt likka-ey. The flavor had a somewhat cloying combination of honey, fruity notes, and alcohol that made it a little hard to drink.. spicy, earthy and medicinal notes showed again around the tongue.. bitterness really increased as it warmed up. Medium-plus bodied and bitter on the palate with a tacky texture at times.. spicy at the end, and it warmed up the belly. I don’t know what it was, but this didn’t strike a great chord with me.
