Purchased at the brewery in March 2022. Drunk in September that year.
The beer is a lovely copper colour with a slight haze, befitting an unfiltered, unpasteurised beer. There's a 1.5cm fluffy white head with thick lacing on the glass.
The nose is sweet and mildly biscuity. There's a creaminess there that makes me want to say porridge or lactose - I can't put my finger on the right descriptor. Actually, on further sips, it's sweet bread, in fact almost brioche. Yep, brioche it is.
The taste is ultra smooth. That sweet note I couldn't place turns up as brioche and even vanilla/lactose, and it was that realisation that gave the aroma note to me. There's a slight hit of bitterness after the swallow, perhaps just enough to cancel out the sweetness, although I think I'd have preferred slightly more, as the beer does become increasingly sweet the more you drink it. The finish, as expected for such a sweet beer, is quite long.
The beer is silky in the mouth and right on point.
Overall, once I cracked my perception of the beer, the sweetness of the whole thing became the overriding note. I don't know that I'd go back for more, or at the very least I'd need something a little more bitter or hop-forward to balance this one out. I don't recall having a Maibock before, so I'd like to taste some more to see how this one stacks up. If I can, I'll review this one again in that context.
Cheers!
