May 25, 2007 Updated: Apr 22, 2008Bottle. Sweetish dark malts with molasses. Dark ruby body with a lively little light brown head that’s gone without even taking off its head. Taste is very dry, bitter, dark. Aftertaste as well. Lightish body. Alcohol warming (surprising for this level) and slight numbing of the soft palate. Herbiness with light plum and tobacco, slight roast. This is like no German Bock I’ve had, and despite the appreciable complexity and craftsmanship, not even an offering I’d like to have again. Sharp, angular, and hard. [2.7]
After a few more bottles, I’ve come to love its dryness and its grit, but the mild fruitiness is not particularly becoming and the mild sharpness is misplaced. Long-lasting, extremely earthy hop tone, though, more than makes up for it. Much more tobacco coming out this time - better warm? Certainly plummier. A classy stand-alone - I find it hard to mix this with anything else, even bread or pretzels. [3.3]

May 17, 2007 A dark brown / amber color with a nice light tan head. Aroma is malts, light roast and cream. Flavor is very bold. Caramel malts, molasses, maybe some black licorice. The mouthfeel was just a bit light but still a very good beer overall.

May 17, 2007 Poured a deep mahogany body beneath a small, khaki head. Dark fruit aroma (prunes & raisins) with a spiced character and mild roastiness. Light terps emerge late. Dark fruity flavor with a sharpness on the tongue that leads the way to an otherwise fluffy moouthfeel. Some coffee notes join in the finish and linger. For a beer brewed "in celebration of the arrival of spring," this goat is quite a different animal than the other Maibocks you’re likely to run into.

May 16, 2007 A Mes rate:
Bottle from Systembolaget Hansacompagniet in Malmö. Overly roasty and quite sweet. Nose is actually quite good with the barley and sweetness. Flavour is bland and pretty average truth be told. A little sticky in the palate. Whatever.
