Mar 30, 2008 Pint at Steam Plant Grill, Spokane, Wa. This was a very nice low malt Maibock. That was a pleasant surprise. I was not in the mood for an overly sweet maibock. Appearance was deep copper-brown, not much of a head. Paired well with Bison Burger on a wheat bun. Would’ve had another but wanted to try a different ale.

Jul 13, 2007 Fourth stop during the ABA Beer Tour ’07 in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. Though this brew was not available on tap, the brewmaster had a "stashed" growler of their maibock and allowed me to have a taste at the downtown brewpub. Pours a caramel amber brew with a creamy off-white head with terrific retention. Aroma of sweet caramel malt, flowery hops and a touch of sweet pears. Taste is smooth creamy, medium bodied with a very light carbonation. Flavor has a rich and sweet caramel malt character. Finish is slightly sweet with a good balance of bitterness and sweet malt. Reading some of the previous review, it seems that the growler aging has a very favorable effect to this seasonal brew.

May 22, 2007 Draft 10 oz glass at the Steamplant - Spokane. Medium amber with a gluey head. The aroma is malty and inviting. Onto the tongue this is rich and caramelly with a fruity side and almost a pear essence. Can sense the slightly higher gravity in this meaty brew. Good. (#2920, 5/18/2007)

Dec 25, 2006 Pours a bright golden amber color, head lasted about 20 seconds. No lacing to speak of. Aromas of spice, light grains, and a touch of something fruity. Flavor is medicinal, sweet, and sort of vegatal. Not impressed with this offering.

Jun 26, 2006 Amber with a filmy head and spotty lacing. Stinky aroma of toasted malts. Slightly sour. Bitter flavors with sour malts. Some bitterness in the flavors.

May 11, 2006 Tap @ SteamPlant Grill, Spokane, WA<BR>Clear gold color, small head, light lacing. Nose of light sweet candy, chalk and guava. The flavor isn’t pronounced but it has a solid body to it. I like the beers here, good base malts.
