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.

Poured an opaque copper with a good sized head. Aroma is malty. Taste has sweetness up front and a bitter dry finish. Big fan of this one.

Aroma: not much, mildly sweet yet astringent. Appearance: orange, copper, slightly hazy and a little thin sediment. Taste: little bland up front, then mildly sweet in the middle and slight bitter aftertaste. Palate: creamy, medium thickness. Overall: nothing that special, not really that great to me. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

BlackIPA (201) - Rochester, New York, USA - DEC 1, 2011
I was afraid this beer was going to be terrible based on the way I’ve heard people bash it. Once again, I was wrong. This beer exceeded my (low) expectations. It pours a clear orange color with a decent sized off white head that sticks around for a while. Nice caramel and biscuit notes in the aroma, with toffee in there too. Along with the maltiness, bready and biscuit notes there’s something I just can’t describe in the taste - but I like it. This is a decent beer and well worth trying at least once.

BillWyce (302) - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA - NOV 27, 2011
From notes: Pours hazy orange-amber with an off-white head and lots of carbonation bubbles along the wall of the glass. Aromas of piney and grapefruity hops, with some biscuity yeast mixed in as well. Medium-thickness, with a nice depth that lingers on the tongue. Flavor is of piney hops that lingers nicely on the tip of the tongue. Also has a nice, bright note of sweet citrus (maybe orange) in the finish.

eManu (371) - Kuala Lumpur & Brussels, BELGIUM - NOV 25, 2011
Bottle bought from a store in Kuala Lumpur. Pours a clear orange color with a nice beige head that stay for a while. Aroma of hops, hints of ginger biscuits, spices and grass. Flavors of hops, malts, hints of caramels, grass, ginger and citrus. Light carbonations, light boddied, a bit too watery, long lasting little bitterness. Interesting ale but nothing great.

VincentL (121) - montréal, Quebec, CANADA - NOV 19, 2011
Robe jaune orange brumeuse avec un beau col persistant. Une odeur de fleur de houblon fleurale Le goût est exceptionnel. Un peu de sucre malté, une amertume douce en parfait équilibre, un goût un peu boisé, peut-être un peu de miel?
