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.

Excellent tasting beer! Very flavorful with not too much bite considering the alcohol content. Very smooth and delicious aftertaste. Really enjoyed this one!

Bottle at Oliver Twist. Beautiful copper. At first there is just german hop flavour and dull, but after a while there is more complexity.

This is my favorite ale that i have had thus far. It poured a beautiful orange color that held a semi sweet flavor. Great beer.

12oz bottle. $2.45 Julio’s Liquors. Pours a hazy orange. Found it to be a tad on the sweet and yeasty side for my tastes though I’m sure others will like it all that much more for this. Overall a good ale though.

Bottle. Pours a brown/reddish with a quick dissapating head. Aroma: some roast, hops and honey. Flavor: light roast, caramel and hops.

Pours a pure honey color, lots of action, some sediment from the swirl, and an off white head that disipated. Caramel malt smell. Caramel malt dominates the taste with an alcohol finish and has some grapefruit hops in the background. Medium bodied and has a smooth and resinous palate with a crisp carbonation. Very drinkable, more of a an inline session beer as in to start with something lighter and finish with something heavier.
