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.

From bottle at local grocer. Pours a cloudy orange-gold with a large fast diminishing head with good lacing. Excellent balance of sweet malt and hops. Nice musty sweet aroma. Very drinkable with a bitter-sweet slightly yeasty aftertaste. Very nice ale, and I am not a huge ale fan.Nice malty slightly fruity nose. Overall a very nice offering from Rogue.

Straight off the tap, it pours a nice golden yellowish-brown with a thin head. The taste is sweet, smooth, a little hoppy, with only the slightest hint of bitterness. Ale lovers everywhere should try to make the pilgrimage to Newport, Oregon because Rogue is certainly one of the finest breweries in the world.

I love this ale. Golden in color, flavor, and an overall wow. Very smooth. Taste the hops and sweet malts. Great brew from Rogue.

650ml bottle.
Pours a "deep honey" beer with a tall cream coloured head. Hoppy nose, lots of Saaz and a little light fruits. Malty flavour of honey, syrup, a small amount of wood and just a hint of alcohol. Creamy smooth feel, chewy, sweet and bready finish. A little too sweet and creamy for me, I would have preferred a bit more bitterness and crispness to balance it out. But overall not a bad beer.

On tap at the Flying Saucer in KC. Pours a slightly hazy, deep orange with an inch thick, very dense, slowly dissipating, yellow-cream colored head with lots of nice lacing. More great work by the Flying Saucer in pouring it’s beers. Aroma of sweet malts and that familiar Rogue yeast. A bunch of dark toffee and caramels. Slightly woody and light orange hops. Flavor is a very full sweet malt with a touch of soft bittering citrus hops to balance this brew out. Lots of caramel and toffee and a bit of burnt sugar to it. Palate is buttery, smooth, and full with a light bitterness in the linger. Overall, one of the original beers that got me into the wonderful world of craft beer. A great representation of the style and a beer that really hits the spot for me any time. As always, solid and reliable.

Pours a nice orange-gold, small short lived white head. Lacing is there but not pronounced. Fruity-Hoppy nose. Very appealing, crisp and fresh. Medium-Heavy mouth-feel with very lgiht carbonation. Tangy and hoppy. The malty sweetness is a background note to a solid hop base. There is a yeasty after-taste that isn’t the most pleasant taste. Good stuff, very good every day brew.

Bier Koning. Golden orange body with slight head. Hoppy and fruity nose. Taste of caramel, fruits, and hops. Really nice and balanced palate. Warming finish. Well done.
