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.

Pours a cloudy dark medium amber with a frothy light tan head. Aroma is nutty with caramel, some fruit, and a little smoked malt. Flavor is well into the malty side. Flavors of rich caramel, honey, light roasted malt and toffee. Sweet, bitter, and hearty. Palate is just above average. Decent malty brew.

341ml bottle from SAQ. Pours clear light amber with a big fluffy light brown head. Lots of bubble flowing from bottom to top. Lacing head, good retention. Aroma is malty, caramel. Some hints of honey, spices, hops and red fruits. Taste is light bitterness, spices, quite sweet. Alcohol is quite present. Carbonation is quite present but not too much. Great brew, just not exactly my thing.

big aroma of toffee and russian fudge. Caramel, honey and spice flavours. A bit syrup-like. More bitterness and hop would make it more drinkable.
