HB thanks to KP. Poured a mostly clear amber color with a small off-white head. Dark fruit aroma with a light doughy component. Caramel malt flavor with some notes of dry old raisins on the finish. Light to medium body with a light mouthfeel as the finish.

Hand-bottle thanks to kp: Pours a transparent copper orange with a thin ring of off-white head. Aroma of sweet toasty dark caramel malt and some noble hops. Body starts with decent fullness and sweet chewy bready malts with some light fruity character and a touch of peppery clove before a lightly bitter finish. A pretty good bock, but it certainly doesn’t seem to be 11% abv.

This special beer is brewed to benefit the homeless in Atlanta - for every pint sold, Max Lager’s donates 50 cents to a local homeless shelter. Pours a semi-transparent dark mahogany with a thick ecru head. Aroma is rich and hoppy with subtle spice hints. Thick flavor is surprisingly more malty than hoppy and has touches of spice as well as earthy and nutty undertones. Texture is fairly smooth, and aftertaste is nutty and slightly hop-bitter.
