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.

Good very sessionable beer. Medium bodied, slightly sweet, very easy to drink despite moderately high alcohol content. Overall good beer. Caramel notes.

dead guy ale is alright, alright by the pricing wasn’t really worth the whole deal of it. the taste is alright, and same with the effect. a little overpriced though but it is a microbrew.

White Crane bitter pours a clear amber color with a light tan head. Malty aromas of toasted caramel and pale malts. Smooth medium body. Very good toasted caramel flavor with some spicy pacman yeast and hops.. Nice hot weather brew.

12 oz bottle. Pours a very cloudy light amber copper with yellow hightlights. Head is soft white and small. Smells of brown sugar, toffee, and sweet malt. Tastes of burnt sugar, roasted malts, sweet corn, some piney and citrus hops. Aftertaste is slightly fermented friuts. Body is nice and sticky sweet, almost syrupy, and carbonation is very good. Some lacing.

On tap in wildwood nj at Goodnight Irene’s, I had DeadGuy after enjoying one of my favorite beers (Stone Bastard ale), so i was ready for a little let down but that failed to happen. it was a really nice switch to a toasty malt-hop beer..the taste of cookie, toasted caramel malts with resin hops coming through gave a very enjoyable amount of depth and character and perfectly balanced out this beer..I really enjoyed this one after being very hesitant to order it so that was a nice surprise..I’ll be trying this one again very soon, very nice beer...

Tasting at DØE, Aarhus Syd, DK. Bottled, 170609. Amber with white head. Aroma of malt and hay. Flavor is caramel, fruit and a hit of alcohol

3,65$ plus deposit at SAQ. The second american crafted beer available in Quebec after Samuel Adams Boston Lager; yeah, it is a shame and it is all politics. Dark orange color, persistant thin layer of foam. Delicate sweet malt and fruity aroma. A moderate fruity-herbal hop dominates the taste with obvious notes of, I agree, graham cookies, provided by the mix of malts. Subtle notes of sweetness, getting more obvious as my glass was emptying. Pretty complex aftertaste. Crafty hopping for sure, acting on many layers. Not overwhelming so, in Quebec, it is rather expensive for what you get, but it is still a very fine beer, easy drinking and totally enjoyable!

Bottle (in NZ). Pours a light amber with a thin white head. Sweet citrus aroma, hints of toffee. Quite a light mouthfeel for 6.6%, sweet stewed fruits and toffee again. The bittering finish has plenty of hops and spirits. Good, but doesn’t really stand out.
