Sample at the brewpub. This brew is a clear mahogany color with a medium beige head that diminishes slowly. Rings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of roasted malt and fruit. Medium body with flavors of toasted malts, ripe fruit and caramel. Touches of hops as well. The finish is malty with a short fruity aftertaste. Decent overall.

MBGF Summer09 under the name Bock Biere. Poured a clear brown color with an average frothy off-white head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Moderate toasted malt and tart fruit aroma. Medium body with a smooth thick texture and soft carbonation. Medium sweet flavor with a medium sweet finish of moderate duration. Complex for style.

Enjoyed On tap at the brewpub. The second seasonal, that is also very good and shows the maturation of the brewcrafting at this brewpub. A bit of colour,followed by decent lacing, an above average mouthfeel,malty aroma. Carbonation is right there, it is malty without sweetness, after all there is some sourness there. Nice.
