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.

DavoleBomb (965) - Pennsylvania, USA - JAN 11, 2011
Poured into a flute. 4.5 A: Slightly hazy dark orange color. Absolutely lovely head with extremely good retention and tons of lacing. 4.0 S: Very sweet. Light fruity aroma (somewhat tropical). Rather complex, but not pronounced enough. 4.0 T: This is pretty damn good. Good balance between hops and malts, with a little more emphasis on the hops. Hop bitterness as well as an earthy taste. Some toasted light malts. 4.0 M: Medium body. Great carbonation. Really smooth and somewhat creamy. 4.0 D: This is my first Maibock and I like what I’m tasting. I could drink a few of these without getting bored, but there is a hoppy aftertaste that gets old after a while. Serving type: bottle Reviewed on: 11-16-2008 00:50:19

poisoneddwarf (882) - Rathdrum, Idaho, USA - JAN 6, 2011
12 oz bottle into lager glass. Pours a slightly hazy orange with a medium bone-white head with nice retention. Leaves some nice lacework. Malty nose; I smell cinnamon, Sweet Tarts--pretty muted. Smells a little boozy after it warms up a bit. Taste is mostly sweet with some bittering hops noticeable in the finish. Has a grainy flavor in the aftertaste. Creamy mouthfeel; medium-high carbonation and body. Much better than I remember it.

Aroma is of sweet malts. Taste is bready malts with just enough hops for a bitter bite. Overall a relatively well balanced beer.
