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.

I have tried several different years of this beer, even the first year with the glow-in-the-dark bottle label. First time tasted like soapy water. Next time was better. Then I had it on Tap - MUCH BETTER!

mike mcneil (660) - St Augustine, Florida, USA - SEP 4, 2001

A very well balanced beer. Shows some malty sweetness along with a fair amount of hop bitterness and spiciness. A bit thinner mouthfeel than I expected based on the appearance and aroma.

Delbomber (387) - Philadelphia, USA - AUG 15, 2001

Wow, amazing to see more than a few people other than myself find Rogue to be fallable. Amber with a quick head and hoppy aroma, I found this to be quite bland, with a slight hoppiness and buttery flavor, and a mildly yeasty aftertaste.

fishman (350) - Philadelphia, USA - AUG 14, 2001

Amber with a lacey head. Sweet, candy-like aroma, but sadly not much taste. Slight hoppiness and a very yeasty aftertaste.
