Cloudy burnt orange pour with a healthy conditioned head. Toffeed malt, and celery hop on the nose with some crushed mint. This is over a year old. Also some baked bread malts on the nose and later on the palate. Nice palate, the hops have faded on the nose,but the malt hasn’t seemed to of oxidized much at all. Fresh bread continues on the palate as the malts turn more towards caramel with a bitter sea salt twang reeling in the candy. Old citrusy hops and earthy bitter notes linger in the palate. Off-putting at first, but the second snifter has me warming up nicely. Wouldn’t recommend aging this guy, but it doesn’t kill the beer at all. 87

Dec 9, 2009 2009 Label. Pours a beautiful golden colour with minimal head. The aroma is fruity and has hints of hops. The taste is quite similar and the hops are certainly evident. This is strong in taste and is an excellent bitter beer, the finish to this beer was also very good. I would say to those who are willing to pay for it they will remember this beer.

Dec 6, 2009 Vintage 2008 bottle. Big red bottle. D² for short. Aroma of a richly malted BarleyWine. Pours a deep wooded reddish brown color, rocky light tan head. Smells of toffee and caramel, nice toasted grain. I love Munich malts. A bit of leather, fruit, and malt. Lots of carbonation, fizzy mouthfeel. Flavor has a rich musty malt flavor. Very rich malt character, lots of caramel and toasted cereal flavors. Sharp bitterness. Very earthy, wooded hopped finish. Perfectly balanced, like all other ROGUE beers. Heavy bodied, thick creamy texture. Chewy lacing. It is a meal.

Dec 1, 2009 26 oz bottle, but says 9% abv. Pours a clear copper with a large, foamy, beige head that lasts. Taste is of hops, pine, citrus, fruit, caramel and some roasted malt. Similar aroma. A little sweet with a dry and bitter finish. Oily body. The alcohol is hidden rather well. Pretty well balanced. A slight step up from the normal version, but not enough to give it a better score. Very easy to drink, satisfying and pretty enjoyable. Worth picking up again.

Dec 1, 2009 Sampled on 10/30/2009. This American Strong Ale pours a medium orange gold color from a big red ceramic 750ml bottle. Medium sized white foamy head. The aroma is fruity and malty. A medium bodied American Strong Ale. The malts are caramel, fruity and sweet. The hops are herbal and floral. Nice carbonation. Good balance. Definitely a ramped up dead guy, which is not a bad thing. Seems to be a little boozy with a fairly noticeable alcohol bite for a 9% beer. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.

Nov 29, 2009 I should preface this by saying that Dead Guy, especially fresh DG is one of my favourites, but this "doubling" doesn’t carry over. Too much hops in this one and it is much booz-ier. The alcohol is very upfront.

Nov 29, 2009 A great high alcohol beer. Very similar to the Dead Guy Ale this beer is easy to drink. Pours a nice redish copper color with small head that sticks to the glass. Has a very well balanced flavor without the alcohol flavor one might expect from a 9% beer.

Nov 28, 2009 2008 bottle - Pours amber with suspended yeast flakes and a sizable off-white head. It has a very malty aroma with hints of dark fruit. The flavor is sweet and malty up front with dark fruit and wood characteristics then the hops hits. It’s moderately to heavily hopped and has a bitter finish. It put me in mind of some barley wines.

Nov 19, 2009 Copper/ amber colour with a off white head. Malty floral aroma with hints of light pine and citrus. Taste is floral, pine and citrus hops with a touch of malt. An obvious; by the name, like drinking 2 Dead Guy Ales at once.
