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.

Bottle, 75cl - Firery red orange beer with an off white medium sized head. Aroma is malty with distinct notes of grape fruit and caramel. Flavor is sweet with citrusy notes and hints of dried fruits. Medium bodied dry but balanced American strong ale.

750ml bottle. Pours hazy auburn with a creamy white head. Smells of burnt sugar and malt, caramel, and prunes. Tastes of toffee, roasted sugar, sour malt, and fermented fruits. Creamy mouthfeel, some hop spiciness. Long sour and bitter aftertaste. Some alcohol presence. Not too bad.

Bottle. Clear deep orange coloured with a thick and creamy beige head. Aromas of raisins, caramel, resin, grapefruit and lots of malt. Warming alcoholic flavour with notes of pine, toffee, peaches and sweet malt.

"Yet another over priced beer from Rogue that will be of high quality and drinkable but nowhere near worth the price I paid for it, but I’ll keep on buying them because me is stupid. Clear reddish brown body with a thick 1” cap. Slippery roapy lacing is being left behind on ever single sip. Aroma is sweet and hoppy and that being of the grape fruit variety but what ells do you get from the west coast. I swear I keep getting whiffs of chocolate. 100% west coast tasting beer, heavy on the hops, slightly sweet, with a bitter malty finish. This is still a very drinkable brew it’s just nothing special any more. Woody spicy alcohol start to appear the longer I drink. peach, grape fruit maybe just maybe some pine also make appearances. If I would have drank this beer 3 years ago it would have blown my mind with this intense ridiculous flavour but now this is just one of a thousand ( or even one of fifty from rogue ) beers that taste like this."

Bottle (75 cl) thanks deft. Clear amber, large off-white head. Slightly nutty malt aroma with some spicy hops. Medium to full bodied, soft carbonation. Dry with a harsh bitterness.

Hmmm, lots of similarities with the Dead Guy Ale, but this has so much more. It was very heavy in both taste and feel. It brought me way down to a lower point in my life. It definitely kicked my ass in the best kinda way.
