Defiant Maibock

Perhaps the best bock outside of germany. Nice subtle hops, good maltiness, grassy and floral, everything a good bock should be

Thanks to Notalush for sharing his brew with little ol’ me...On cask at Bobbique...Very strikingly malty beer - and quite sweet too. It is a pleasant, honey-sweetness, not syrupy at all. The flavor is not complex, but mostly filled with wheat and malts. The hops are well-hidden. A very smooth-drinking beer, but it is on cask, so it doesn’t surprise me that its easy to drink.

Cask at Bobbique - a rather odd way to serve a maibock, but I’ll allow it - fairly dark copper for the style, with a rather small head, especially for a cask beer - fruity and floral aroma, with some grassy, earthy hints around the edges - pretty sweet, even for the style, with flavors of caramel, raisins, cherries - lingering raw cane sugar sweetness through the finish - a decent attempt, but a tad too sweet.
