Dec 11, 2008 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.

Dec 8, 2008 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.

Dec 7, 2008 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.

Dec 6, 2008 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.

Dec 5, 2008 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.

Dec 4, 2008 Pours dull copper with a tall chunky almond meat head great retention good lacing. Aroma has lots of caramel, cashew brittle, floral and citrus hops, citron candies. Flavor is praline, lemon and floral hops with a bit of roast, bitter hops, cocao liquor, licorice, and bitter spicy hops. Finish is somewhat bitter with hints of butterscotch, lots of caramel and sweet dried fruit. After a few drinks I noticed an interesting smoke-like taste from the middle to well into the finish, interesting and hard to place, like smoked berries or something. This probably hides its alcohol content better than just about any beer I have had recently.

Dec 4, 2008 On tap at Stone a few weeks ago. I was surprised I liked this as much as I did. Aroma of lemon, fruit and citrus. Color was an orange amber with a light beige head. Flavor was solid and drinkable. A pretty good balance. Caramel, fruit, lemon and citrus. Enjoyable for the style.
