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 bomber. Pours amber with off-white head. Toasty malt nose, hint of alcohol. Flavor is initially of alcohol but that fades slightly to present a malt and hop profile. Malt is cloying but alcohol is distracting. This may have laid around too long. Single dead guy much better.

DasBierChef (695) - Lucan, Minnesota, USA - FEB 9, 2012
Pours a clear amber with thick white head. Aroma is boozy and sweet. Simple. Flavor is about the same. Mediocre.

RasmusOtt (706) - Aalborg, DENMARK - FEB 8, 2012
Pours amber with a tiny white head. Aroma is sweet melon, caramel, fruity jam notes, butterscotch and some hops there aswell. Hops are more present in the taste along with peach and ripe apples, caramel, plums, jam and a warming alcoholic feel in the back. Mouthfeel is rather sticky.

JanLaursen (765) - Copenhagen, DENMARK - FEB 6, 2012
On tap at Mikkeller Bar. Slightly hazy orange beer with a red hue and low head. Sweet toffee malty aroma with orange-scented, slightly dusty hoppy notes. Flavour is sweet and malty with caramel, toffee and dry-fruity hops, medium bitterness. Big and bold, but definitely well balanced with high drinkability.

CarlJonas (57) - Linköping, SWEDEN - FEB 6, 2012
On tap. Hazy orange colour, small head. Aroma of toffee and bitter orange. Very sweet with a distinct fruity bitterness, not unlike British marmalade. A little lighter than an American barley wine in both body and colour, I’d say this beer manages to pack quite a punch without getting too heavy, a dangerous combination.

faroeviking (8598) - Kongens Lyngby, FÖROYAR, FAROE ISLANDS - FEB 6, 2012
Chopp. Nice amber colour, beige small head. Sweet malty fruitish hoppy aroma. Good mouthfeel. Flavour is sweet and malty with caramel and fruity hops, good bitterness.

obguthr (2411) - Poquoson, Virginia, USA - FEB 4, 2012
Malty nose, briny, hay and celery. Hazy copper, medium yellow head, nice lacing. Full body, only slightly boozy. Hay, caramel, toffee flavor, with hints of wood, particularly in the end. Rustic and decidedly not fruity. This is the way a high gravity beer should be done. It’s obviously big, but it isn’t a chore. It’s a tad on the sweet side for my taste, but this should appeal to a lot of people.

Defreni (1783) - Husum, DENMARK - JAN 27, 2012
Fad: Orange uklar øl med et lille skumhoved. Dufter af Rogues hushumling der ikke er til at tage fejl af. Smagen er også klassisk Rogue, men med en støvet kvalitet der dræber humlingen lidt. Ikke den bedste øl, men drikbar.
