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’ve tried 4 of the Rogue beers. Though they start out great, personally I don’t think they have a good finish. Which is true for this one also. First sip had a nice hoppy taste and aroma, went down smooth, about 3/4 through the bottle I felt it lost its taste and fizz.

Bottle: Hazy amber coloured brew with an skeleton on a barrel at the label. Pretty sweet ale with hints of plum, citrus and slightly caramel.

Draught @ Maltainen Monni, Helsinki. Murky amber color, white head. Resiny hop aroma. Sweet, malty flavor with a great bitter background, some notes of plums. High carbonation, medium body. Pretty good!

Bottled from Jusco supermarket, Shenzhen, China. Clear orange coloured, lasting head. Nose of barley, some alcohol. Caramel malts in flavour, some bitterness. Not very special.

had this many times before but haven’t rated yet. Pours nice golden applejuice color... fizzy dissipating head. Aroma is malty honey sweetness with some floral hops in the background. Nice honey flavor with hoppy balance.. smooth drinking, well balanced beer.

12oz bottle. Pours a clear amber with a full fluffy head. Slightly smoky nose with lots of citrus hop aroma. Very bocklike up front with smoke and caramel malts but finish with a very piney bitter kick. Its actually very tasty and well crafted as a session beer. It reminds me a bit of Bellhaven Scottish Ale with its use of smoke malts.
