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.

Amber color with a poor white head, aroma is hopy and notes od roasted malt and florals. A bitter flavor but balanced with sweet note, something like caramel or toffee. Great mouthfeel, some long bitterness.

Overall Impression: I have always really enjoyed this beer. I may be a bit high on it simply because this and Arrogant Bastard are the two beers that really got me into beer, but it is really good. Helped turn me from someone who enjoyed drinking beer into a beer lover...

This is one of the first microbrews I had in college. This one is pretty good though I usually find Rogue beers to be a little overpriced. It has a pale amber color. The flavor is mild with a good aftertaste.

On tap at Sharx sports bar Virginia Beach. Has an Amber/honey appearance with a minimal head. The aroma is mild and slightly sweet. I like this because I taste both the hos and the sweetness of the malt

Sampled on tap from the Alamo Drafthouse in Houston. Appearance clear amber with not much head. Taste is very malty and sweet with a nice mild bitter finish. Complex in character. Very nice, would try this again.

THIS BEER LOOKS LIKE HONEY STRAIGHT UP WITH NO HEAD AND LITTLE AROMA. IT TASTES MILDLY LIKE TOASTY HOPS THAT LACE THE MOUTH WELL. EVERYBODY WHO SAYS IT HAS A FRUITY FLAVOR ARE MISTAKEN, IT HAS A HINT OF SWEETNESS BUT NO FRUITNESS. STRAIGHT UP HOPS AND MALT AND VERY DELICIOUS, GREAT PACKAGING TOO. GETS AN A GRADE IN MY BOOK.

Pours a clear amber color with a thin white head. Smells of sweet malts, toffee, and light hops. Tastes hoppy with sweet malts, fruits, toffee, brown sugar, caramel, and some citrus and pine from the hops. Bitter finish.
