May 3, 2009 Bottle. Pours an amber orange body with an off white head. Lots of hop character with pine and grass y notes, some moderate malt balance with hints of caramel and toffee. Not bad a step up from the regular but i like boozy brews.

May 3, 2009 Pours clear reddish copper w/ white head. Aroma - sweet caramel malt but not very strong. Taste - Very bitter up front, doesn’t hide alcohol very well, sweet caramel malt, pine. Overall - I’m not very impressed. Guess I was expecting something more and with better balance. The overly strong alcohol presence throws off this beers taste.

May 2, 2009 22oz bottle pours smells and taste like a good fine Belgian style beer. Slight taste of caramel with a perfect balance. Finises better then even the start.

Apr 29, 2009 750 ml bottle. Pours a ruby amber in color with a huge frothy head. Use of a snifter is recommended here to fully enjoy the floral aroma. The flavor is full of notes of caramel, citrus, and spice. This beer has a well rounded body, and a lasting tart finish. Really good.

Apr 28, 2009 Not a lot of aroma. Looks pretty good. This is much better than the regular dead guy ale because of the up-front hop bite. The flavor is pretty nice, some lightness and airiness to it from the middle to end. Good but overpriced.

Apr 26, 2009 One of the best bottles I have ever seen. Wish the contents were up to the challenge, though. Pours an orangish/reddish copper with a big and fizzy tan head. Aromas are sweet caramel with a touch of pine and grass and a hint of oranges. Flavor is very sweet and malty... has a lot of caramel, a touch of orange and grassy hops and an overwhelming alcohol presence that creates warmth and buries some of the flavors. a little pricey

Apr 24, 2009 Ceramic bottle pours medium copper color with a fluffy head. Sweet malts, sugars and caramel in the nose. Nice bitterness to body match up. Grassy and herbal hops bitterness and finish. Not usually a Rogue fan but this one went well.

Apr 23, 2009 Finally, waiting for this one for a while. Missed it on tap a few times prior to bottle release. Aroma is sweet with caramel malts, molasses and a touch of hops. Taste seem to have more hops but not a bad bitterness. Caramel malt sweetness and has a dryer finish.
