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.

Light amber with loose off-white head. Aromas of sharp hops and malt, slightly roasted. Slightly sweet, fairly bitter. Dry finish, sharp carbonation. A rich, hoppy, american interpretation of the style. Decent brew; good all-nighter.

Pours a deep golden honey color. The nose is hops, caramel, and a bready malt. The taste is caramel, honey, and hops. Mouthfeel is medium-light and refreshing. Great beer.

very good beer with a strong character and aftertaste. Very complex blend of malts and hops make this beer very bitter and pours with a dark color. Wonderful beer

Warm golden amber pour into pub glass from a bomber picked up locally yielded only a small head but lots of lacing. Probably my pour technique which doesn’t return much foam. The smell is as rich as any beer I’ve ever tried, strong yeast essences along with a robust carmel and roasted barley. Taste is very bold caramel and malt, a hint of sweetness and bitter hops but a very well rounded full figured taste. Another amazing Rogue ale.

A nice full bodied beer. Pours nice with small head. Color is lighter then expected from the full bodied taste. Warm on the tongue with notes of caramel, well hopped to perfect balance

Bottle. pours a clear orange color with a small white head. Head dissipates to nothing. Nose is lightly fruity with a biscuity note. Palate is full and firm with a light film and a bitter finish. Flavors of light fruity notes like peaches and apricots, biscuity malt notes, and a firm fizzy and bitter finish.
