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.

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)

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.

Pours reddish-tan amber color with a moderate beige head. Looks pretty plain. Aroma is fairly simple to be honest: some caramel, toasty-pine hops, earth...Tastes equally predictable, but pleasing nonetheless with flavors of caramel, toast, wood, dirt, and a somewhat supressed earthy hop flavor. Finishes mildly bitter and earthy. Medium bodied, not as creamy texturally as Rogue’s other offerings. It seems like this beer should be special but it’s just another Arrogant Bastard wannabe really.

Fancy bottle with the Club. Pours a clear light brown. Smells of caramel and alcohol. Sweet with aromas of cream soda, rye and tiny hints of metals. Some residual sugars. Too sweet.

Served cold from a tap, and called a doppelbock at this pub. Fairly dry, hoppy bock. Seems a bit light for a strong, double beer, and I am actually rating it lower than regular dead guy. n.b. The name Dead Guy Ale is not very appetizing. I would like to try the cool looking bottle too.

lots of sweet malt and citrus hops in the aroma. taste is fruit malt the hint of alcohol. hops are prevalent, found some strawberry and citrus in the taste also.
