Continuing through the Rogue line.
I would say that Rogue Dead guy is quite possibly my favorite beer of all, at least non-IPA's.
Could drink it anytime.

So I have been excited to try the Double Dead guy since I bought it a month or two ago at Wegmans in King of Prussia PA, 25.4 oz bottle.

Poured into a tall beer mug. 2-3 finger head, thick, off white, remained for quite awhile and lacing continues through sipping.
Dark amber/reddish tones, almost but not quite like a sweet iced tea maybe.

Nothing unusual or remarkable in the scent category, just a basic malt/ale scent.

The flavor packs quite a punch. There is a lot going on here. Fruity, toasty slightly hoppy characteristics Raisins, dry hazelnut slightly, even a hint of a warm apple pie.
Good blend and flavor.

The mouthfeel is full bodied and rich, lingering and impressive.
The 9% ABV is pretty awesome too.

I recommend this and as a Dead Guy fan, it definitely met the expectations that I was holding.

Hats off, again, to Rogue.

Poured into a glass mug. The beer pours dark hazy copper with a thin, lasting white head and lots of streaming tiny bubbles. The beer smells like caramel and brown bread. There's a touch of earthiness from the hops that I detect in the smell. The beer is a bit more bitter than the aroma would suggest, with the earthy flavors being a bit more forward than I would have expected. I get the caramel and bread that I also got in the smell. I can also taste some of the alcohol. The body is full with moderate carbonation. The beer goes down pretty smoothy and it has a nice warming quality from the alcohol. This is a very good beer.
