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.

Bart (2332) - Brussels, BELGIUM - AUG 21, 2011
Amber coloured beer with average carbonation and a small white head. Bread yeasty and light malty hinted aroma with grainy caramel sweet hints. Full light creamy hinted palate. Finish is bitter sweet malty with caramel hints and a slight alcoholic twist. Good

This beer had a large head and was orangey in colour. It had a silky texture and tasted slightly caramelly and was a balance between sweet and bitter. Nothing hugely exciting here.

Bottle @ home. Clear copper colored beer. Boring: average smell and taste. Nothing special, expected better.

Chudwick (360) - Taylor Mill (KY), FRANCE - AUG 10, 2011
Bottle in a pint glass - pours clear amber with little head. Aroma is hoppy and malty. Taste is a little bitter. Crisp going down. About as much hop I care to handle and the aftertaste is not overwhelming as with hoppy beer.

Nice amber color with a short head. Lacing clings to the glass but is not persistent. There is a malty breadiness on the nose. The taste is mildly bitter with a dry aftertaste. This brew finishes smooth
