| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 24, 2008 One of the last pours on draught at the Jolly Roger brewery/taproom grill in suburban Seattle, WA. Lucky to have visited before this beer ran out. Pours a dark copper amber brew with a thin off-white head that quickly dissipates to a fine film and off-white ring. Aroma of sweetened caramel malts, flowery hops, a touch of Yorkshire pudding with butter and some light spice. Taste is full bodied, a little sweet with flavors of sweetened caramel malt, a touch of apple and some mild fruit cake. Finish is sweet with small bit of citrus hop character that slowly disappears. This is a multi-personality maibock and willing to try this one again. Curious to see how next year’s batch turns out. presario (3001), Calgary, Alberta, Canada
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 5, 2005 Tap. Malty with a hop edge and finish with a touch of pepper and alcohol. Copper colour with a light head and lacing. A touch of syrupy sweetness and lightly spiced. An additcive combination. Gets better as it goes down. Almost like a lite Barley Wine as it warms. riversideAK (2766), Shoreline, Washington, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 22, 2009 Tap at Barking Dog. Nice sweet malty aroma, caramel mostly and some fruity/floral hops. Pours dark-ish amber with a nice fluffy head. Sweet flavors of caramel, honey, fruity notes followed by a floral clean bitterness. SOme residual sweetness choses to linger for a little while. Nice light bite in the finish from hop/carbonation mixture. Crit (2409), New Westminster, British Columbia, Canada

A deep golden amber color with a thin head. This had a deep sweet malty aroma with a flavor to match the floral notes also added to the flavors. This was a great beer and if this sits it get better with the warmth of the hand. Great beer for a cool day.

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jun 15, 2006 Half pint on tap at Latona Pub in Seattle. Spiced, peppery aroma with some mild citris orange hoppiness. Lightly sweet aroma that is rather faint. Beautiful mild-moderate hazy orange color with off-yellowish head and nice lacing. Sweet, sticky caramel chewy start, turning a bit more alcoholic with earthy hoppiness late. Hops create a rather bitter flavor. A bit too hopped for the style, IMO. Not overly bad, though.
