Double Dead Guy is tapped
If you are interested, we tapped a keg of Rogue Double Dead Guy tonight here at Sycamore
cheers, Sanford
Now I just have to figure out when I can get down there to try it!
I’ve been holding on to this bottle since May when Myra and I visited San Jose, CA and finally decided to try it tonight while watching the debate (and that is all I’m going to say about politics).
This beer pours cloudy and is a yellowish orange color. It has loads of thick, creamy head with lots of retention. It has a citrusy nose with just a hint of grain. It starts bitter and is not terribly carbonated. It feels light, and has a bitter aftertaste as well. Pretty good, and is a nice IPA. It weighs in at 6.5% ABV.
We had another great tasting at Sycamore. I must like brown ales more than I realized, since I liked every beer we tried. I’m not sure what my favorite was this time, maybe the Rogue Hazelnut Brown Nectar or the Big Sky Moose Drool. Of the homebrews, Jamie’s Maple Amber Ale was my favorite. It would be excellent with some nice thick bacon and a couple of pancakes.
