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.

Very malty for what i’d expect of an ale.....but thats not a bad thing. I’m much more partial to a Porter or Stout, than i am an Ale or IPA. Im picking up some sweet fruits, and maybe some coffee...

Friendly beer, good balance of caramel and bitterness, good body and aftertaste. Now I know why this beer is famous. Has a unique flavor, maybe the yeast?

This is a good beer that the hop lovers and malt lovers should both enjoy . Pour is amber to orange with a large tight bubble off white head that is thicker at the top . Aroma is a little weak but nice . Flavors are all over the place malty and a touch sweet but with citrus and a nice hop presence .
