deep amber with a cream head. nose is overly sweet, and bready malts. decent palate, big malts and a light sweetness.

Tap at Cowgirl Seahorse. Pours a light, shiny brown-amber. Medium white head. Nose is sweet, caramel malts. Flavor is malty, with some maple and caramel notes. Also some warming alcohol. Rich malty aftertaste. Pretty good.

Clear amber with a good amount of carbonation. Malty sweet aroma. Medium mouth feel. The alcohol is more noticeable towards the end. German Maibocks are hard to come over here in Texas.

UPDATED: FEB 15, 2010 Pours an off-white head with a copper-amber body. Smells of yeast, sweet, and barnyard. Flavor is caramel and yeast. Little dry on the finish.

12 oz bottle. Pours a clear amber with beige head. Aroma of toast, toasted grain, light fruit esters, caramel, malt and earthy with faint band aid. Flavor is exactly the same, lightly sweet with a touch of nuttiness at the end with a light bitter finish and metallic. Mouth feel is medium body with medium-high carbonation. Overall, not all that bad but wasn’t into the somewhat earthy, weedy hop finish.

On tap New Orleans Pours out a copper gold topped with a small white head. A nice aroma of light malts. Tast picked up some very good spices and some sweetness. Not to bad.

Malt aroma with hints of medicine. Clear dark golden color with a medium white head. Mildly sweet malt beginning with a light amount of bitter fading in the finish.

Bottle. Pours a light amber color. Small white head. Roasty malt aroma. Grainy flavor. Plenty of bitterness. Good body. Decent beer. Date not printed on it, but believe it is a little old. Overall, ok, but missing the sweetness that I have enjoyed in othe bocks.
