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.

Malty, pilsener taste. Good aroma of bread and malts. A good session beer that I’d definitely try again

Bottle pours orange-amber with touches of red and an off-white head. Aroma is sweet with notes of caramel, toasted grain, and a touch of floral/citrus hops. Flavor shows the same with additional notes of vanilla, nuts, and a touch of brown sugar. Overall body is moderate, sweet, and finishes with light to moderate bitterness.

Frothmeister (235) - Ontario, CANADA - DEC 11, 2010
UPDATED: DEC 12, 2010 355ml bottle. Pours light amber with an off-white head. The nose is faint with mostly caramel notes up front, vanilla, metallic hops, banana and spice. Initial sweetness, followed by caramel, dried fruit, grass, and a prominent floral note that makes the beer. Perfectly balanced with a nice bitter finish.

Poobah (164) - New Orleans, Louisiana, USA - DEC 11, 2010
Apricot color with thin lasting head. Nose with hops and sweet notes combined. Smooth intro with a malty mouthfeel, mild carbonation, and a finish with hints of vanilla, overripe banana and a modest lingering hoppiness to complete this balanced beer.

thicksuds (247) - Massachusetts, USA - DEC 10, 2010
I am a fan, nice dark red color, nice hops, light malts and fruits, mixed with some nice spices, well balanced, nice flow, a little bitter flavor as well. I like it, very well done brew. Walks the fine line of a red ale and IPA for me.
