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.

Rogue brings it on this one!!! Pours a reddish-brown with nice lacing. The aroma lends itself more to malt than the Cascade hops. Which was surprising because I didn’t expect Rogue to use Cascades. Aroma is caramel and toffee. Taste is layers of rich malt, caramel and toffee with a finish that is intense Cascade hops!!

2008 750 ml. bottle The aroma is dominated by caramel with hints of vanilla. Caramel to reddish color with about an inch of cream colored head. The flavor also has a strong prescence of caramel. One of the best strong ales I have had. Palate has a nice thickness but is nothing too special.

Pours medium amber with a full head.Caramely/malty aroma. Quite a thick smooth malty taste with incipient bitterness running out to high hop bitterness at the end. A sipper, not a quaffer! Very nice.

Very good brown beer. I enjoyed the malty flavor... just enough hops to balance the malt, but the malt dominates. Long finish, and a good cover of the 9.5% alcohol. Nicely done.

Draft at Mellow Mushroom Huntsville AL. Bright red filtered with no head. Very malty, hoppy, spiced (?), and sweet. Alcohol subdued for such a high abv. Thick palate. Interesting and drinkable.

Pours golden amber, thin off white head. Aromas of raisin, sweet sugary.
Initial dry bitterness is followed by a fruity raisin and bitterness. Mouth coating bitterness returns with a vengeance for the finish, maybe thats the double part showing.

Arrrr, I wore a cheesy eye patch with the Great Lakes logo to get this one on talk like a Pirate day… Clear amber with a medium creamy tan head. Aroma of toffee, grains, alcohol and moderate hops. Taste of toffee, alcohol, citrus and caramel. Palate is pretty smooth and it finishes up mildly bitter.
