Brewed By:
Rogue
Self-Defined Style:
Maibock Gratefully dedicated to the Rogue in each of us. 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. Strangely, the association with the Grateful Dead is pure coincidence. 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.
Best With:
This amber colored ale pairs nicely with brothy soups, salted almonds, game birds and seafood. This brew also offers a nice companion to cheeses and fruits. 
Comments
Rouge Dead Guy Ale - B+
Easy to get along with. Got some honey and citrus flavor in there, but very drinkable. B+
Rogue Dead Guy Ale
The color of honey. Aromas of caramel, toffee, and slight citrus fruit. Flavors of caramel and dry, herbal, spicy hops. A very smooth, balanced beer with an off-dry finish. Some herbal honey flavors linger on the tongue.
