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.

2008 Bottle. Deep orange with a foamy cream colored head. Great retention and spider web lacing. Lots of big caramel malt aromas, sweet malts and lots of herbal hoppiness. Taste is more big maltiness, light alcohol, light grassy hops. Just an amped up dead guy.

btl by jcw215. An amber pour with off white head and lace. Brown sugar, medium hops and malt on the nose. Molasses, abv, nice delayed bitter finish. Medium to full bodied beer. Very drinkable beer.

750ml bottle. Pours clear copper with a big persistent white head. Smell is sweet and malty with some fruit notes. Taste has a nice very carmelly sweetness. Bitterness in the middle and some hoppy herbalness in the finish with a little warming alcohol. Full bodied and nicely carbonated. Overall a solid and enjoyable beer.

Tap. Pours a hazy golden copper with a small and brief white head. Aroma is caramel, hops, and malt. Taste is caramel malt, citrus hops, and earthy pine notes as well. The beer is pretty smooth and not that carbonated. Solid but not spectacular.

Aroma is caramel, citrus hops, and a touch of alcohol. Pours a slightly hazy copper with a small white head. Taste is caramel, butterscotch, citrus and pine hops, and a nice smokiness too. Slight metallic bitterness on the back of the tongue. Alcohol is very well-hidden in the flavor. Somehow, this beer reminds me of salty sea water . . . but in a good way. Nice palate; smooth and full-bodied, with low carbonation. Expensive but enjoyable.

22 oz bottle. pours a light to medium amber with a large head. nice intial aroma with a basic hop profile. over all tastes just like Dead Guy ale but with a bit hight %abv. The beer does do a nice job hiding the increased alcohol.

POurs hazy amber into a trappist glass. Head quickly recedes to hug rim. Raisin and pit fruit aromas. Full and slightly syrupy. Lasting pine hop finish.

wow. take my rating of Rogues Dead Guy ale, shove it into a large red bottle, and inflate the price like their is no economic crisis, and weve got Rogues Double Dead Guy Ale. Double the price, for essentially the same brew. Way to go guys....Its good, but no different than regular deadguy. Nuff said. Sorry for the lack of apostrophes, apparently ratebeer is in simple mode.
