Rogue Double Dead Guy Ale

Sampled on draft at Zeno’s in State College PA this beer poured a caramel-chestnut color with a large yellow-tan head. The aroma was sweet fruity and floral hops but not a whole lot else. The flavor was bitter floral hops with a tangy malt undertone followed by fruity hops and a hint of caramel. The finish was long and hoppy.

On tap at Rogue Brewery. Pours a clear caramelly amber with out much of a head. The nose is sweeter and fresh with hops. C word perhaps even. Some alcohol pops out. There’s not much here reminding me of Dead Guy so far. Perhaps there’s a shared roundness? The mouthfeel is low on the CO2, but high on the alcohol thinness, at least enough to counter any real viscosity. Nice balance in the flavor though. Big hops, A good dose of alcohol. Some caramel to toffee, thinner, but there. Lingering alcohol. An enjoyable beer, I’d buy it if it weren’t going to be in those silly crocks.

On tap at Boise Front Door Pours out a dark gold topped with an off white head. Aroma and tast of light hops. Pretty nice body and bitter end. Not bad.

Copper body with a moderate ecru head. Caramel, pine hops, citrus hops, toffee, grilled banana evident in the nose. Hops come through in the taste but tempered by a malty sweetness. Decent.

I love this beer! Double Dead Guy Ale is amaing! The look is a beautiful amber/orange color. Nice off white head. Looks thick and full bodied. The smell is of malty sweetness, hoppy, grapefruit hop notes, citrusy/fruity and a hint of floral/pine hop. The taste...oh...my...god! This is amazing! Alcohol is present, hoppy and sweet maltyness to it. Hop taste is just like the smell.
