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.

33cl bottle from Silja Line ferry. Poured a hazy, dark golden color with a big head. Aroma is malty and hint of yeast and spices. Flavor is more malty, quite sweet (raw sugar). Enjoyed this one.

Strong caramel maltiness in a bottle. A little unjustified bitterness makes it a tough call at 11$ a 6 pack, but not a bad buy. Refreshing, as long as you can handle the finish.

One of my favorite all time "staples." Nose and taste is complex nutmeg, sweet molasses and spices. Rated 11/14/2000

tennessejed420 (838) - Denver, Colorado, USA - MAY 7, 2010
12 oz. bottle. Pours an amber gold color, with off white foam head. Aroma of honeysuckle, melon, lemonbread. Flavor is a honey infused citrus hop taste, with notes of fresh hay, toast. Nice bite to the finish, medium bodied, very sessionable. I don’t know why it took me so long to try this, it’s just the perfect session, i want a keg.
