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.

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.

22 oz bottle courtesy of Douglas88. Pours a hazy amber/reddish color with a generous off white head and rings of lace. Aroma is a nice mix of malty sweetness and hop bitterness. Medium bodied with some hop pucker power. Flavor is a nice combo of sweetness and bitter. All in all, the hops dominate. Short lived bitter, dry finish. Very enjoyable.

Bottle thanks to Beth. Amazing beer. Pours a slightly cloudy amber color with minimal head. Sweet and caramel nose. Tastes of pineapple/citrus with malty finish. Very well balanced and cant tell its 9.5%.

pours dark copper/amber with no real head. aroma is sweet and malty but has some nice floral hop notes that come through. drinks smooth and sweet caramel malt up front and has a nice cut of some citrus from the hops to balance the sweetness. finishes a little bitter with some alcohol bite.

Bottle shared by hallinghansen. Deep bit hazy amber body with an off white head. Sweet malty aroma with hoppy notes. Some fresh fruit and some spice as well. Flavour is sweet malty and barley wine like. A good hoppy touch matches the taste of ripe fruit very well. Medium mouthfeel. Good balanced beer.

Poured a deep amber color with little tlo no head that laced the glass a little. To the nose it was sweet with floral notes. When it first it the tongue it was sweet almost toffee. The finish was a tart grapefruit that sticks around for a while. Overall this is another quality beer from Rogue and I would buy it again.

2009 bottle. Poured a dark amber color with a nice fluffy head. This beer had very good lacing. Malty smell and also sweet fruit and a hint of spice (pepper). A sweet caramel malt taste with a nice balance of citrus hops. Loved the slightly bitter finish. Thought this was much better than the Dead Guy.
