Jan 24, 2009 Basically very similar to Dead Guy Ale, but with a stronger hop presence. Not very hoppy itself, just in comparison to the normal Dead Guy. Overall, a little sweet, and strong malt flavor. I found it interesting, but I’m not loving it.

Jan 24, 2009 nose comes off as extreme maltiness.Huge soft white head that tends to stick around for a while. Very sweet and somewhat complex. It does have a lasting bitterness at the end.. It comes off a little flat . All around an ok beer

Jan 24, 2009 From the tap poured a dark brown with a fair amount of head. Sweet malty flavor with a lingering finish.

Painted red 750mL bottle with 2008 vintage date.
Appearance: Thick, almost frothy tan head with small bubbles. Thin, but solid layer of head remains after 45 seconds and some lacing on the pint glass. Medium-amber color.
Nose: Hops and a raisony-sweetness are my first thoughts. Maybe a hint of currant, and apricot. Something like Dulce de leche or maybe condensed milk (without the "ew, gross, it’s condensed milk from a can" smell).
Palate: Softer carbonation than I thought based on the head. A smooth, medium-bodied mouth-feel. Nicely bitter when agitated to reveal classic Rogue hop characteristics. The hops still have that delicate floral flavor, which I appreciate. Midpalate is nicely sweet, but not cloying, and is countered by a bitter bite right before the medium-length finish.
Notes: A solid "double" version of the Dead Guy Ale, not quite as extreme as I was anticipating, what with the bizarre packaging. Worth a try and I’ll definitely want more of this one!

Jan 17, 2009 draft at Summits in Cumming, GA. a deep golden / orange with a quarter inch white head. solid hop aroma... big soft and creamy palate with big floral hop notes up front and through the finish. the presence over the tongue is really great - huge body - almost chewy. XX Dead Guy is very enjoyable and a solid hop filled ale, but not over the top like some IIPAs... this is very well balanced with the malts lingering in the background. It’s overpriced in the bottle, so I was happy to find it on draft to try it out.

Jan 15, 2009 Bottle: Muddy orange pour with white head. Aroma is heavy citrus, dark sugars, and a non-offensive moldy scent. Flavor is caramel malt, an aggressive body packed with bitterness that lasts. Pretty good, but you can feel the fullness and warmth of this brew right away.

Jan 13, 2009 Amber with a big and lasting off-white head. Floral and citrus aroma, with malt and a little alcohol. Sweet and malty flavour with some hops and some alcohol. Rathercloying.
