Rating #1100.. draft at Mellow Mushroom Charleston S.C. - a chewey deep amber body with a thick head. the aroma is sweet and hints of the bold ABV. this reminds me a bit of Rogue’s Imp Red. cramel malt, grapefruit zests masked by more rich toasted english muffin likeness. good beer that packs a punch... bit i’m not gaaga over it... just buzzed.
2.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
On tap. The body was dark gold with a khaki head. The aroma was sweet with lots of raisins and cinnamon. There was also bread crust with a hint of grapefruit. The taste was sweet pear core with some spicy cinnamon. There was a nasty sweet, almost honey like finish. Certainly not my thing, but my friends like it.

On tap at Capital Ale House - Downtown. Clear deep copper body with a large creamy tan head with good retention. Sweet caramel and light toasty aroma with a huge hop kick. Sweet caramel, somewhat sugary flavor with lots of american hops. Still decidedly malt accentuated. Medium body with moderately high carbonation.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Draft at The Sanctuary in Iowa City. Poured a dark orange-reddish color. The head was off white and dissipated quickly. I smelled sprucy/flowery hops, toffee, and candy. Medium bodied and sweet with mild to moderate hop bitterness that peaked at 4 out of 10. The flavor profile included the likes of cotton candy, caramel, toffee, and sprucy hops. There was also some alcohol, but it was fairly well concealed at 9.5%. I’m not the biggest fan of Dead Guy, and this one, perhaps not surprisingly, didn’t do a great deal for me either.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Draft @ Frisco’s. Pours a bright, medium honey-orange color; minimal off-white head. Light aroma, showing candy sugar, basic caramel and dried oranges; kind of one-dimensional. Average carbonation. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: lots of dried oranges, caramel, dried fruits - follows the aroma; sugary sweet maltiness, with a touch of balancing citrus. A bit messy, with lots of orange; some alcohol poking through. Lengthy, sticky finish: oranges, citrus, and dried fruits; a bit of zestiness and bread.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
on tap @ Brew Kettle, marked as Dead Guy XX presumed to be this... a copper color yields some hop’s more hops and nothing really but hops, atleast this is how it tasted ot me, serving temp was a bit warmer than i might have liked, tasted like a basic IPA with higher ABV.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Draft. Pours a deep dark amber with a small off-white head. Aroma was fairly mild with caramel, floral, light pine, and a hint of toffee. Flavor is caramel malts, citrus hops, pine, floral, and some notes of toffee with a moderate hop bitterness. Decent brew
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draught at Barley’s. Pours dark red-orange with off-white head. The aroma is lots of caramel with some biscuit and pine. The flavor is pine, grapefruit, typical American hops. Fairly bitter. The malts are caramel and biscuit with a blast of toast at the end, which accentuates the hop bitterness. Ok, but not really anything special.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
On tap at Barley’s, Knoxville. Copper, with a nice white head. Aroma is rather on the sweet side, with caramel and toffee and brown sugar. Flavor is very hoppy, considering the aroma. Mostly grapefruity, with just a few notes of pine. Malt flavors are in the background. Once again, its fairly typical of the Rogue John’s Locker series.
