Aug 7, 2009 Aroma is malty with just a hint of green bottle skunkiness. Pours with a sparkling copper clarity and a nice head. Starts with a strong malt flavor and no skunk (musta got a fresh one) followed by a smooth, drying finish. I’d love to have this on tap somewhere. Excellent beer.

Jul 10, 2009 12oz. green bottle served in a pilsner glass. Poured a clear copper with two fingers of off white head. Rich malty aroma, not really caramel, but that distinctive German malt aroma. Also some faint noble hops. The flavor is not as malty as the aroma might suggest, but there is a good malt base. On the lighter side of medium bodied. There is a bit of hop bitterness in the middle. Not sweet at all for all the malt, actually finishes fairly dry. Very drinkable to me. Nice bock.

Jul 3, 2009 Bottled 50cl. Courtesy of joss. It pours a clear copper beer with a nicely lasting lacing light beige head. The aroma is mainly of caramel, figs, raisin and mothballs. I prefer the taste which is nicely balanced, sweetish, fruity, very salty with crackers, caramel and raisin showing up. Malt accentuated. Some lacework. Salty finish. Thanks a lot joss!

Jul 2, 2009 Due to a backlog, I’m still drinking my maibocks in July. This one looks like a true maibock, orange/red, clear, white head. The aroma is malty, reminiscent of other German beers in that it has a sweet aroma, but also some vegetable matter. The flavor is sweet malts, bread, butter, fruit, vegetable/tomato. The finish is sweet, and also has a mild hop bittering. Medium mouthfeel, relatively high carbonation. Enjoyable, but not remarkable.
