Poured from the growler that I bought for $22 from Fat Heads in North Olmsted earlier today into my Cooperstown Beverage Trail pint glass.
A Brief but creamy light brown head over a dark honey, caramel body. Head is very, very brief compared to the on tap version that I had earlier today at Fat Heads but the body color itself is attractive. 4.0
S Some sweet whiskey notes, some light to moderate hops, very interesting and inviting. 4.5
T Nice, moderately strong balance of whiskey malt sweetness and hops in a complex, deep bock taste. 4.0
M Moderate feel of malt and hops and very appropriate to the style. I really like the feel of this beer which is beefy enough but not syrupy thick or biting hops. 4.5
D I finished two pints within about 20 minutes. I will drink two more pints tomorrow night from the growler. 4.0
Notes: The oak whiskey barrel aging (I think that is what they did....) really works for this beer. I am very impressed with the taste of this beer that I was not sure that I would like. Recommended for sure!

The appearance was a nice looking hazy amber to orange color with a one finger white foamy head that dissipated within about a minute. There wasn’t any lacing. The smell had a nice blend of sweet honey to somewhat tart cherry. The taste was mainly sweet and somewhat tart carrying the cherry back into the flavor. Light tart cherry aftertaste leading into a slight bittersweet finish. On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fairly decent sessionability about it. There’s a nice carbonation about it. Overall, I say this was a pretty good Maibock I could have again. Recommend with some plain cheesecake.
