Not the best mai bock style that I have ever tried, but decent. Has a simple sweetness to the maltiness. Finishes slightly bitter and dry. puzzl (2619), New York, New York, USA

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jul 11, 2006 12oz bottle via trade with Bück Dich - Thanks Jordan! - Pours amber/golden with a short white creamy head that fades to a film quickly. Aromas of caramel, some light spice, and some yeast, and some earthy notes. Flavor is pretty grainy with some caramel coming through as well and just a touch of the alcohol. A little spice there too. Overall a lot of yeasty flavor though. Medium bodied and not much carbonation. No sign of the 7.1% either. Not bad.. 5000 (2409), Hardened Liver, Washington, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 14, 2006 Bottle: Orange in color, fairly clear, light carbonation, moderate foamy white head, spotty lacing. Kilned malt aroma, grains, slight whole wheat breadiness. Semi-sweet malt character, fairly light, clean, but not as big or heavy as other examples. Simple, but very quaffable. Body and mouthfeel are moderate. Finish is fairly crisp, only very lightly chewy. Would be nice to see this one be a bit bigger with more robust nose, but as it is its a easy drinking lighter Bock. Thanks for the bottle Jordan!

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Aug 23, 2004 Brian went on vacation halfway across the nation and brought back this fine libation which caused me great discombobulation. The darker gold body didn’t pour much of a head, but had great lacing. Aroma is mostly sweet. Sweet honey malts with a generous hop ending. The palate is grainy like your granny after she’s had a few too many. Thanks Brian
