Pours a clear dark copper color with a fresh khaki head . Smell is toffee,dark fruit , and malts taste is fruity bready malty, has a roastiness ,,and earthy notes. Mouth feel is malty fruity dry in the finish with spicy notes , refreshing and delicious

L-Deep cherrywood color...good clarity..looks impressive but darker than most maibocks.

S-Rich and malty....rich melanoidins....again more bock like that maibock like but impressive.

T-Toasted malts, sweetish, much more of a vienna and muich malt impression than a pils maltiness which is what I'd expect for a maibock...with that said it is tasty even if off style...there is a bit of hop character of the finish that lends touch of spiciness.

F-Medium bodied...for as rich and malty as this began it drinks relatively balanced with a light spicy dry hop impression on the close.

O-This place really only makes above average beer or better and this is no exception. Not really a maibock stylistically but a very well made tasty spring lager.....i'd call it a regular bock personally but I supposed it could be considered kind of a hybrid bock/maibock....either way a great beer to see brewed among their million pastry stouts and hazy IPA's...they do throw the lager guys a bone more than once a year so that is appreciated because they do them well..
