POurs hazy amber into a trappist glass. Head quickly recedes to hug rim. Raisin and pit fruit aromas. Full and slightly syrupy. Lasting pine hop finish.

2008 Bottle. Not really impressed by this, especially at the price, and that is hard to say as I like regular dead guy ale. What sort of excuses are they coming up with for a $14 a bottle beer? "John used cascade and Crystal because he was out of his first choice"...at $14 a bottle?! Anyway, enough ranting. Pours with a large off-white head and a hazy orange body. Good lacing. Aroma has lots of dark fruits, toffee and very raw, grainy caramalized two row barely. Very lightly hopped. Taste is just boring. Really malty with not too much going on. A bit husky if anything. Oily mouthfeel, light carbonation.

On tap at HopCat, Grand Rapids. Translucent amber body, thin off-white head. Heavy, bready nose with spicy esters and alcohol. Heavy, dry body, with layered breads, yeast, and prickly alcohol. As the beer warmed, sweet berry-like notes developed. Bitter finish. The beer became more likable after half a pint.

750ml uncorked bottle. Mild, mellow, minimal alcohol for the ABV. Cloudy, orange-brown color. Truly captures the essence of Dead Guy and builds upon it. Mellow vanilla flavors, perfect balance. Perfect balance of alcohol makes it reminiscent of great Belgians. Enjoyable mild hoppy aftertaste. The malt flavors really shine on this one. Expensive, but worth a try.

Deep amber in colour with a very hazy look and a large tan head. Aroma of malt, alcohol, fruits and some hops - decent. Medium to Full-bodied; Strong malty flavour with a large amount of alcohol, yeast and bread thrown in the mix. Aftertaste is way too malty, showing alcohol and bread like nothing else. Overall, a decent beer - but way too malty, thick and overdone for my liking. I wouldn’t recommend this at all - since there are far better beers for the style. I sampled this 750 mL bottle purchased from Dean & Deluca in Washington (Georgetown), D.C. on 01-October-2008, sampled on 26-November-2008.

Picked up at Bottleworks in Seattle only to find it locally a week later. Pours clear copper with two inch tan head. The aroma is moderate with solid hop notes of grapefruit and sweet malt enhanced orange and tangelo, some spicy hops and a bit of caramel malts. After a few tries this beer has grown on me. The taste if full with lightly roasted malts, sweeter malts mixing with grapefruit, orange and spice hops. By midway a medium roasted malt note grows and just manages to outshine the other hoppy flavor components. It gets just a bit caramelly into the after taste. Good stuff from Rogue but like the other similar releases the price hardly justifies another purchase.

75 cL bottle, courtesy of Phil_L (at chris_o tasting) and Papsoe (bottle given and sampled at LCRBM08). Pours clear and deep amber with a creamy tan/orange head. Aroma holds a mild peachy hops note to a solid caramel malty base. Flavour and mouthfeel is a bit sticky sweet yet also with a nice fruity hops note. Solid roasted malty and caramel flavours on the back of the tongue. Bitter finish with a distinct alcohol warmth.
