Narrative: On route to the airport the First Officer's Multi Function display failed. We decided to continue destination airport because it was not required equipment. Then we were informed the weather at the airport was deteriorating unexpectedly. We completed all the required tasks and checklist before the we were cleared for the approach. On approach we realized that we were too high and our descent profile was going to be unacceptable for a stable approach. Around 11;000 ft. the Captain called for the Missed Approach. We executed the Missed Approach with no issues and cleaned up the aircraft and started climbing to the missed approach altitude. We were at the missed approach altitude and Captain called for the auto pilot on. During this time there was a bit of confusion and the right turn and swapping the navigation displays and setting the new course for the back course was slow to be executed. We turned to the heading too slow and never intercepted the back course. Once we figured out that we didn't intercept the back course we had the Course Deviation Indicator full-scale deflection. ATC gave us a new altitude and a new heading to start the restart the approach. We got vectored around to the Initial Approach Fix to restart the approach and completed the second approach stabilized without any issues. Failure to comply with the approach profile and the missed approach profile.


Second narrative: I neglected to call for the First Officer to start our descent. The First Officer noticed my mistake; but by this time we were very high. My initial reaction was to deploy the boards and steepen the descent in an attempt to get back on profile; however I quickly realized it wasn't going to work and we were unstabilized. I called for a missed approach when we were at roughly 11;000 ft.  Because we went missed early; I called for the autopilot on once we reached the published missed approach altitude of 14;200 ft. This caused confusion as to who should complete the tasks of spinning the heading knob to the 300 heading; swapping the RTU's; and setting the course to 303. I decided to have the First Officer complete these to stay as on-profile as possible. The first two tasks; the 300 heading and swapping the RTU's; were completed however the task of setting the 303 course was not. This led to ATC querying us about our progress on the missed approach and soon after issuing an altitude alert with an instruction to climb to 15;000 ft. By the time we figured out our mistake we were showing full-scale deflection on the Course Deviation Indicator. In addition to not setting the course; I made the mistake of accelerating to 200 kts. and calling climb sequence once level at 14;200 ft. instead of waiting until outbound per the profile. I should also add that the First Officer MFD failed enroute and this most likely caused a reduction in situational awareness throughout the rest of the flight. Failure to comply with the LOC/DME 15 approach profile; especially the missed approach segment.


Synopsis: Air carrier flight crew reported they failed to comply with the approach profile and the missed approach segment to ASE airport.
