| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Apr 12, 2009 Updated: Jul 27, 200912oz bottle. Filtered orange-tan color, light fluffy head. Sweet alcohol laced aroma, rather old school if you will. More smooth than the aroma would have me believe, relatively true to style. Cloying malt sweetness dominates. Lacks a little yeast depth, but overall a nice effort. A relatively sessionable, well balanced example. ihatehefe (5), Alabama, USA does not count | 4.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 19/20 | Mar 15, 2009 as per my earlier reviews, i’m a sucker for a good maibock, and this isone of my favorites JaBier (1261), Capital City, Ohio, USA

Aroma is grainy malt, toast, caramel, grassy hops, straw. Flavor is heavy grain right away followed by, light caramel, toast, maple like sweetness, and a nice hop profile toward the end.

A pretty average heller. could use some more malt complexity and body.
