Sep 29, 2008 Shit, I thought I put in a rating for this beer.
Can I just call it a muddled mess of a beer with flavors all over the place and nothing integrated?
Yeah, the beer was as good as that last sentence.
Grapefruit, caramel, alcohol heat, sweet, but not cloying, some nuttiness.
I just can’t bother to put in much more about how incredibly average this beer was. Good flavors, separately, but poorly crafted.

Sep 13, 2008 22 oz bottle...thanks ceebs!
Pours a nice two fingerwidth beige, creamy head. Leaves a lot of nice lacing on the glass after dissipating slowly. Color is opaque and has a copper penny tint to it. The aroma is hoppy and of strong fruit, resembling more of the mild fruit, more like a berry smell instead of the citrus hop. There is a hint of light malts in there too. Some dose of caramel. I have to agree with ceebs in that the taste is a hoppier barley wine. It definitely resembles the dead guy ale, but with way more of a hop character and a stronger, imperial level taste. It tastes pretty bitter and lingers for a shorter time than i would expect such a bitter beer. Tastes of wood and pine, again the berry sweetness too. A complex beer with a more wet finish than dry, which was kind of surprising after the initial bitter taste. The balance is pretty good, not perfect, but overall i was all for this.

Jun 30, 2009 750ml bottle. Aroma brings much malt, nuts, cola and some smoke.
Flavor is very malty. Also toffee, nuts and caramel.
Palate is big.
Overall I think this one is to sweet and it has a to "sticky" palate.

Apr 29, 2009 750 ml bottle. Pours a ruby amber in color with a huge frothy head. Use of a snifter is recommended here to fully enjoy the floral aroma. The flavor is full of notes of caramel, citrus, and spice. This beer has a well rounded body, and a lasting tart finish. Really good.

Jan 6, 2009 Served cold from a tap, and called a doppelbock at this pub. Fairly dry, hoppy bock. Seems a bit light for a strong, double beer, and I am actually rating it lower than regular dead guy. n.b. The name Dead Guy Ale is not very appetizing. I would like to try the cool looking bottle too.

Oct 4, 2008 750 ml ceramic bottle purchased at Beverages for Less in Santee. Very tasty. I liked the malt, toffee, and caramel. The hops were present but not to overpowering.
