Augustiner Maximator

Bottle poured a clear reddish brown with a small lingering amber head. Aromas of molasses, dark fruit, carmel and a hint oif spice. Palate was medium bodied and smooth. Flavors of carmel, brown sugar and fruittiness with a smooth slightly warming malty finish.

bottle. pours a nice amber brown clear, with a small khaki head that dissipates to a ring. Aromas of alcohol, raisins, dark fruits and a little nutty. Taste brings caramel, molasses, and surprisingly decent bitterness. Drinking goes down smooth and quick. I certainly like this A LOT better than the edelstoff.

Bottle. Head is initially average sized, frothy, light brown, mostly diminishing. Body is clear dark amber to medium brown. Aroma is lightly to moderately malty (toasted grain, molasses, nuts, husks), with light notes of metal and brown sugar. Flavor is moderately to heavily sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly to moderately sweet, lightly acidic, moderately bitter, husky. Medium body, watery/syrupy texture, lively carbonation, lightly alcoholic. Pretty sad. I’d bet this brewery was once great, but man, the three I’ve had in the last year (including the pils at their own brewpub) have been really disappointing (none have scored above the 2’s). I love German beer, but this brewery just doesn’t cut it.

Pours a four finger light tan head that fades quickly, leaving traces of lace. Clear mahogany color. Light carbonation and medium bodied. Slight malty nose. Flavor is nutty, caramel easy to drink. $2.85 for a 12oz bottle from Colonial Spirits Acton, Ma.
