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.

Slightly hazy golden blonde with a nice and lasting white head. Notes of sweet malts and apricots on the nose, mild carbonation, medium body, on the malty side, some fruity hops in there too, finishes pretty balanced between malts and hops, altough a little thin. Easy drinking tasty beer.

Glass. Pours a golden-rust with a thin white head. Has an exellent nose. Very floral, smells like a bouquet of roses. Slight hop notes, pine, grassy. Taste is delicious. More malty with hop undertones and a balanced sweet/slightly bitter finish, Smooth. Palate is medium. Not pilsener like, not a stout feel. Somewhere in between. This is overall a very good beer.

An incredibly balanced beer - plenty of hops and a complimentary maltiness for this, my current favorite. It’s a bit pricey though.

Dark gold pour from bottle, moderate head. Understated hops aroma. Well-balanced hops / maltiness. Medium body, slippery mouthfeel. Minor lacing. Lingering bitter finish. Not bad. Bock is not my favorite style, but this is a good, solid example.

On tap. Poured a clear amber with a thin white head. Aroma had notes of pine and citrus with a bit of spice and malt. Malt was more apparent in the flavor with more of an undertone of hops.

This was okay. I was expecting it to be great, which might have had some-what of an effect on my ability to rate it, given how disappointed I was. Regardless, it had kind of a typical flavor, nothing special. The finish was kind of unsettling for me. I wouldn’t buy this beer but I would definitely drink it for free!

From a bottle. Great nose, with some floral notes and a few spicy elements. Rich head leaves a decent lace; color is dark honey, almost into the orange or amber spectrum. Flavor is really pleasant; toasty malts up front give way to an almost astringent hop dryness on the finish. Easy to drink, and damned tasty.
