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.

Just had the 2009 edition last night, it was great, well hopped and plenty of malt. Very smooth for 9% and tasty all around

Ever so slightly hazy orange, extra thick layer of pillowy beige head. Big aromas of toasted malt, toffee, grapefruit and grass. Thick coating malt spiced with piney alcohol notes. Nice hop bite under all the malt, that perhaps gets the upper hand in the long finish. Alcohol warmth on the way down.

Pours amber with thin off white head. Aroma of caramel malt. Taste of caramel and toffee. Minimal hops. Boring.

750ml Bottle. 2009 vintage. This beer really is like the original Dead Guy Ale multiplied by two. Pours golden amber with an off-white head and nice lacing. Has a spicy hoppy nose with a hint of caramel. Smooth creamy palate and a long finish that is a little dry. Flavour has strong malt as well as honey, toffee, a little bit of saltiness and coffee. Not as sweet as it may sound, rather it strikes a really good balance between bitterness and sweetness. Overall this is an excellent beer, probably on a par with the original Dead Guy in terms of quality, albeit a little pricey in this part of the world.

Bottle (cool looking bottle). Pours a darker amber with medium beige head. Aroma is malty and sweet with caramel and toffee. Heavy caramel malt flavor profile. There are some toffee and nutty flavors that mix with all the sweetness and lead to a dryer and lighter finish with only a touch of bitterness. Tight carbonation helps to offset the impression of syrup. Not too bad.

Aroma on this one is crazy fruity with obvious hop bitterness, which is what mostly carries onto the palate. I was a bit disappointed with this one, as the flavor was just weak in general with obvious hop bitterness.
