 glennmastrange (809), hobe sound, Florida, USA
Jan 13, 2009 Bottle. Moderate to heavy malt aromas of nutty, caramel and milk chocolate, moderate herbs for the hops, light earth for the yeast with notes of date, brown sugar and nutmeg. Head is creamy, slightly off-white with fair lacing and is mostly lasting. Color is sparkling clear copper with a thin stream of fine bubbles. Flavor starts moderately sweet and lightly acidic, then the long finish is lightly acidic and heavily bitter. Palate is medium, oily and has a soft carbonation. Nice complex aromas but a slightly out of balance flavor. Still a well crafted American Strong.

Jan 12, 2009 Pours a hazy amber with thin white head. Aroma of caramel, some citrus, and sticky hops. The flavor opens with roasted malt, caramel, a metally, rusty flavor, and a hop balance at the end that lasts nicely. The finish does last and last. This would be nice along with a bowl of chili on a cold day.

Jan 12, 2009 Bottle@LCRBM08. Aroma has some floral hops, some malts. Slightly hazy, orange coloured with a good firm off-white head. Taste is bitter, has some caramel, some hops, bit earthy. Not really impressive.

Jan 12, 2009 This reddish amber beer poured into a trappist glass with a decent beige head and a floral malt aroma. There is a significant malt presence producing a toffee flavor, but there is some serious hopping that complements but, perhaps, overwhelms the malt, leaving an astringent taste on the palate.

Jan 11, 2009 What a freakin’ cool bottle! This massive beer poured copper and large-headed. The aroma is tangy, metallic. Despite the bigness of the beer, this is a smooth drinker, silky even, with a hint of bitter apple, but otherwise a very even-keeled malty brew. (#3468, 11/2008)

Jan 10, 2009 On tap at Novare Res. I’m not a huge fan of the regular dead guy...it’s kind of ketchup like. This stuff however is MUCH better. The D2 is a malt masterpiece. Toffee, caramel, and everything I expected the dead guy to be.
