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.

US trip Aug/Sept 2009 - on tap at the Yardhouse - Smooth and creamy like an ESB with a weird sweetness to the finish that tastes a little sweaty and/or like licking a dead guy. Weirdly drinkable

Amber/Cider colored pour with a very generous amount of white foam and well covering slow lacing. Subdued, somewhat hoppy aroma. Hop bitterness from start to finish in taste. Medium body. Easy to drink, with little evident alcohol.

Dan’s Bachelor Party Extended Weekend Rating #14 of 90. Tap at B-dubs downtown Indy. Pours deep golden, minimal head...much lighter in color than I expected, I don’t know why I expected it darker, but I did. This has a sweet malty aroma with some hops mixed in. Taste is a good malt balance with earthy to citrusy hops. A decent amount of carbonation, and I wasn’t blown away by the alcohol. Pretty good.

A golden beer with a decent head. Aroma was sweet, & malty. The taste was sweet, malty, & very bready with a taste that I can only describe as a malty middle.

Bottle - Pours a deep orange with a deep haze, off white head with a lazy fizz. Raw malt aroma with a citric undertone. For a 6.5 ABV there is a very strong alcohol hit up front, afer that hit there is a bready, orange and malt hit. Dry lingering finish, soft flowery hops.
