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.

12 oz bottle from the LCBO. pours amber with a solid tan head that lasts forever. nice toffee malt aroma with some subdued floral hops. flavours are generously malty with hop bitterness showing in the end. very well done. smooth and sessionable at 6.6%. i could drink this one everyday.

Shaker glass at Mellow Mushroom - clear ornage, with off white head. Aroma carmel/malts - notes of hops, but not enough.

(Bottle). Mild sweet malty aroma. Color is orange amber with a thin white head. Flavor is unexpectedly fruity, rather mild, and is followed by a very nice dry malty finish that lingers.

Reddish amber from tap. Sweet with almost no hop taste. Drinkable but nothing really stands out. Just a bit flat and blah.

12 ozer poured into a shaker. Poured a dark gold color with a small white head. aroma is of sweet malt and some piney hops. Flavor is slightly nutty with sweet malt and a hoppy bite at the end. Medium bodied with mild carbonation.

22 oz. bottle. Pours a nice collapsing head, attractive dark honey yellow color, aroma of honey, other spices flow in, taste complex with multiple flavors that do not quite balance in my mouth, there is a bitter twang that comes in at the finish. I’d really like to try it on tap.
