Pours a deep, sappy amber with an offwhite head and nice lacing. Aroma is raisin toast, and the flavor follows in a similar vein, featuring sweet raisin bread but with the added bonus of apple jelly. Nice and coating mouthfeel. Fine brew; nice sippin’ beer. wickedpete (629), Lexington Park, Maryland, USA

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Mar 26, 2008 Red hazy body, viscous, oily, bright and glowing in my glass. Has a medium thickness, which is quite thick for maibock, and preferred, actually, and it’s properly crisp, toasty and clean, with a chewy but fresh corn and bran flavor, and a sharp, fresh, smacking finish. Of course there’s a bit of rye staleness in there as well, but it’s very malt-forward, very crisp, bright and brash, but has a nice toasted corn and bread flavor in the finish. argo0 (6969), Washington DC, USA
