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.

Halloween Fright Night. Clear copper/rust color with a viscous tan head, nice lacing. Malty sweet aroma is lightly oxidized. Smooth creamy mouthfeel. Has a rich, creamed caramel flavor with bittersweet pit fruits. Nice piney hop taste to finish. Now THIS is a Halloween beer...

Pours a nice amber colour with a thick foamy head. Aroma is spicy peppery, caramel and toasted maltiness, pretty fruity as well. Flavour is fruity earthy hop, caramel and toffee. Very drinkable and the 9.5% is blended very well.

Courtesy JMFG. Pours a lightly hazy, dark, burnt orange color. A foamy, cream colored head shows decent retention, leaving behind soapy lacing that dries to random spots and flares. The aroma is a buttery, diacetyl bomb, showing an overly sweet caramel malt base and astringent, bitter, floral and citrus hops. The flavor shows more of the same, toasty, sweet caramel, buttered popcorn, and bitter floral hops. Thick and syrupy, the palate is heavy up front, finishing in a dry, biting astringency. Sadly, I’m not disappointed, as my expectations were pretty low to begin with. More of a bad thing does not a good thing make.

22oz. the red painted and silk screened bottle is a great package! pours copper with a big off white head. aroma is malty with a hint of tartness. mouthful is big bitterness up front with some nice sweet malt that follows. finish has a lingering bitterness that grows after every sip. just a hint of alcohol.

I enjoyed this delicious brew two nights ago, while watching the Phils clinch their first World Series since 1980. For that reason, I enjoyed the heck out of this brew. PHILS = CHAMPS

750 ml Bottle. Wow, an extremely powerful version of their regular Dead Guy Ale. Pours very similarly to Dead Guy Ale, an almost crimson amber color with a nice white head. Aroma of malts, notes of hops. Flavor is alcohol sweetness. This beer has made me want to re-experience how the regular Dead Guy is.

Pours identical to regular DG, deep amber with a 1/2 inch head. Aroma is sweet like DG, but has a touch more alcohol. Flavor is still true to a maibock, but with a little more alcohol and quite a bit more hop. Very good beer.
