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.

bottle: the label glows in the dark!!! Pours orangy gold with nice foamy head. Sweet and malty with a nice bitter finish. Great spicy notes. Maybe its just because I’ve having so much oktoberfests, but it reminded me of that style... thirst quenching.

Pours hazy gold with an off white head. Aroma is earthy hops and light fruit notes. The flavor was bitter grassy hops and sweet caramel like malts. Finish is bitter. I’m on the fence over this beer.

pours out a pale cloudy yellow in color with a thin off white head that fell really fast, i barely got it to form one. the body is a cloudy oarnge and has no bubbles that i can see rising in the glass. the aromas are a sweet pale malt with apples and grass. there is slight thin lacing along the glass. there is a sweet toffee and caramel taste with a nice hoppy kick that was sutel and finished pretty dry. the aftertaste is toasted malt and a resinous hop taste on the sides of the tongue. thin to meduim bodied with nice carbonation and mouthfeel.

Reddish and hazy. Nice light brown lasting head. Fresh aroma: Hops along with nutty maltiness. In your mouth there is smooth bitterness and toffee. Very lasting malty taste. Yum!

Bottled. Gold-ish color, tastes a little bitter. Not a lot of head. Less noticeable aroma at first.

On tap. Pours an amber golden color with a medium sized frothy white head. Aroma is mostly caramel and toasty malts, not bad, basic toasty, lightly buttery and biscuit. Flavor is hoppier than expected, getting some bite out of hops along with the caramel and toffee notes. A bit of nuttiness in the finish along with toasty malts. Not much bitterness, just sort of fades. Medium body and biting carbonation. Pretty sessionable considering the higher alcohol.

Tap. Poured a clear deep amber with no head. Nose was malty and sweet. Light front with some malty sweetness in the finish. A bit bitter in the finish.
