Commercial Description:
Dead Guy is a German-style Maibock made with Rogue's proprietary "PacMan" ale yeast. It is deep honey in color with a malty aroma, rich hearty flavor and a well balanced finish. Dead Guy is created from Northwest Harrington, Klages, Maier Munich and Carastan malts, along with Perle and Saaz Hops.
In the early 1990s Dead Guy Ale was created as a private tap sticker to celebrate the Mayan Day of the Dead (November 1st, All Souls Day) for Casa U Betcha in Portland, Oregon. The Dead Guy design proved popular and was incorporated into a bottled product a few years later with MaierBock as the elixir.

Darkish amber head with a little lacing and some decentish retention. Nose is chocolaty malts with hop finish—taste is much the same. Caramel and chocolate malts with hop finish, but malts are a little more prominent than hops. Very drinkable. Overall though a very balanced brew that is really, really tasty. Big time recommendation. Bought this in a half gallon jug, by the way, which only adds to its appeal.

Light amber with thin head, slightly sweet aroma of malt and hay. Thin mouthfeel, sweet malt, crisp hops, crisp, slightly bitter finish. Good for a session, but not much to it. Well balanced and pleasant overall.

Pours an orange-amber body with a lacing, off-white head. Smells of caramel, spicy hops, some floral notes. Flavor is similar. Finish is a little dry with some caramel.

650ml bottle. Clear and coppery. Nice balance of body, maltiness, sweetness and hop flavour. Smells good too. Very smooth. A little citrusy bitterness. This beer was a great followup to some nice really spicy jerk chicken (@ Kingston 11 Reggae Cafe in North Van). This is described as a Bock brewed with ale yeast. Not sure how that works but there is no questioning the fine quality of the resulting brew. Another good one from Rogue.

Draught at The Local Taphouse, Sydney. Pours amber with a small white head. Aroma and flavour of malt and floral/citrus and a touch of caramel. Good hop bitterness and a light peppery finish. A tasty Bock.

Amber color with a poor white head, aroma is hopy and notes od roasted malt and florals. A bitter flavor but balanced with sweet note, something like caramel or toffee. Great mouthfeel, some long bitterness.

Overall Impression: I have always really enjoyed this beer. I may be a bit high on it simply because this and Arrogant Bastard are the two beers that really got me into beer, but it is really good. Helped turn me from someone who enjoyed drinking beer into a beer lover...
