Sep 26, 2008 (Bottle 75 cl) Clear deep amber golden with a tall and lively dense head with good retention and some lacing. Burned caramel in the nose as well as some alcohol. Quite full-bodied with notes of burned caramel, nuts and plenty of roasted malt. Rather bitter finish with plenty of alcohol. 180908

Sep 25, 2008 22 oz bomber covered with red paint. Well, at least we know with this experiment that Double Dead Guy will not suffer from exposure to light. Extremely sweet aroma of caramel. Not a lot of hops detected in the aroma, hopefully they are there or I fear this could become sickly sweet. Luckily, there are some grapefruit citrus hops which cut some of the sweetness. Light astringency, and the flavor is relatively harmless, yet there is nothing that sticks out or excites me all that much. A little bland compared to many of its ilk. Paying $9 for this is not worth it. That said, it is not cloying which I originally feared.

Sep 23, 2008 Heavy sweet malt aroma, Belgian-Ale type aroma. A fig type aroma if you will. Not very pungent, but enough to smell it. You cannot smell the hops that well in the aroma, but in the flavor, oh man, the bittering hop is nice. The malt flavor comes at first but the hops take over. The palate is okay, but well above average. The beer has a nice caramel/orange/brown color with decent head retention. Overall, a great beer with a nice balanceof malts and hops.

Sep 22, 2008 20080922 750ml bottle from Spirits RB. Eleven bucks for this, but I couldn’t resist the red painted bottle. Similar in appearance to the regular dead guy, deep copper color with medium, lasting beige head and sticky lace. Aroma is a kick of Rogue, earthy, toffee, clean, light curacao, potpourri, some alcoholic heat. Body is not as full as I expected, and it suffers from a late punch of booze that competes with the malts, or at least distracts me from what might otherwise be a nice coating middle. The finish is indeed long and bitter, quite nice. Overall a bit on the bland side but the bitterness makes it interesting enough to work though the big bottle of a big beer.
