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.

12oz bottle. Light copper pour with a medium ivory head. Pleasant bitterness is tempered by a vague fruitiness, maybe mango. Nice lacing. Slightly sour finish. Well rounded beer.

UPDATED: APR 22, 2011 One of the brews that made me realize how amazing beer can be. Something so simple yet inviting about the aroma - begs to be tasted. I’m a fan of the Pacman yeast strain, I think it works well with lots of styles and this is no exception. Possibly the most balanced beer i’ve ever had. Just plain delicious!

Aroma is a little weak, but a beautiful amber/honey/nectar color combined with the not-too-hoppy flavor has me liking this ale a lot. Well-balanced all around with a depth of flavor.

dpento1 (227) - Virginia, USA - JAN 13, 2011
Pours a hazy amber, with a small, quickly dissipating head. Heavy aroma of honey, malts, caramel and toffee. Very rich and full bodied! Flavor is very earthy and woodsy, with caramel and a little alcohol comes through as you finish. Very Nice, and well balanced!
