| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | May 12, 2005 Pours brownish-red with beige head. Nice roasty aroma. Tastes like a maltier version of their Ale and has the same subtle smoky hints (maybe a little peat malt?). Nice caramel flavor and good hop balance. goldtwins (4084), Nesconset, New York, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Mar 17, 2005 Poured a clear ruby color with a thin tan head. Roasted malt aroma and brown sugar. Flavors of caramel, roasted malt with a mild bitter finish. Medium to full body. Very filling. Probiere (992), Iowa, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Mar 14, 2005 Cinnamon/malt/dark honey, touch of molasses smell. Has a caramel hint up front and finishes very biscuity. Not much like a maibock really, but fairly tasty. Nice body. wunderbier (1267), Tampere, Finland
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Mar 13, 2005 On draft at the brewery, pint glass. Sort of smokey, caramelized...with dark dried fruits. Very Maibockish...May Goats! Not much head but a very rich looking ruby hue. Moderately sweet, moderately acidic flavor becomes a lightly sweet, moderately bitter, moderately acidic finsh. Medium body, creamy texture, lively carbonation. The bottom line is: There’s something about their base malt which doesn’t quite fit for me, but the overall quality here indicates a big turn around for this brewery. aracauna (2391), Georgia, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 13, 2005 The body is a dark reddish brown with a nice head that laces. The liquid is a bit sticky and it follows with the sweet malty body. This is an extremely rich bock, as heavy-bodied and rich as a stout. But the brewery doesn’t claim it to be a good example of the style, but a local take on the style, so you can take points off for that. Personally, I thoroughly enjoyed it and think it the best thing they’ve brewed so far, but I haven’t had the amped up Winter Ale yet either. CaptainCougar (5519), Rockville, Maryland, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Mar 12, 2005 Pours a dark copper ruby with a thin lightly lacing off-white head. Has a soft grainy malty aroma with a touch of lager yeast. Sweet malty caramel body has some sticky noble green hoppiness and a touch of lager yeast with a dry filling finish. I don’t know what it is, but for its style it’s way too filling. I had trouble finishing the whole pint. It’s nice to see Atlanta Brewing coming out with some new stuff though.
