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.

Tasted 10/07/08. 22oz bomber. Filtered with a golden amber hue. Finger width of off-white head. Cereal bready aromas with a touch cinnamon and spicy hops. Medium bodied with a crisp effervescence and nicely bitter hops. Nice sweet bitter dichotomy. Rather zesty. smooth malts and spicy Saaz hops. Solid drinking. Caramel malts shine as the beer warms. This is a go to beer for easy Autumn drinking!

Bottled, China. Hazy murky brown, quick beige head. Slightly toffeeish nose with marzipan and old barnyard hay. Some berries. Flavor is citric, malty, bitter hops with some nuttiness. Pretty good, but far from heller bock as I know them. More like an IPA maybe, or just a strong ale. Decent mouthfeel with smooth carb.

65cl bottle from Village Wine and Spirits (Tampa, FL). Pours a hazy orange amber color with a one finger white-tan puffy foamy head that settles slowly and somewhat laces the glass. Aroma is sweet and malty with some notes of honey and spice. Sight notes of hops. Flavor is also sweet and malty with stronger notes of honey, caramel, spice, and gentle grapefuity-hops toward finish. Generally a light to medium-bodied ale with a somewhat pleasing malty, sweet and slightly bitter finish.

Honey and malts whack you in the nose right away. The color is a rich gold, almost broth-like and nearly opaque. I certainly detect the honey in the flavor, but also a medium amount of hops. The palate is lively and prolonged. A winner in nearly all respects. I would have personally preferred a little hoppier brew.
