COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Rich Amber Bock brewed with Vienna and Munich malts. Pure lager yeast ferments this beer to create a deep malty character with a hint of caramel toffee aroma. Robust noble hops and 7.5% abv. intertwine the malty and toasty flavors. Historically, this beer is brewed once a year to celebrate the “Stark Bierzeit” (strong beer season) and to welcome the warming Spring Sunshine. (Draft Only) Starting Gravity: 16.0-16.5 ° Plato Finishing Gravity: 3.5-4 ° Plato apparent International Bitterness Units: 35-40 Color: 16.0-17 EBC

beastiefan2k (1894) - Lawrence (formely NYC), Kansas, USA - APR 23, 2006

Cask @ Brazen Head cask festival. Poured into half pint glass, can see through the beer. Aroma is not strong faint smell of rye bread. Taste is distinct, hard to describe and not tasty for me. Stays on the palate for a while. A bit of bitterness.

Clear amber with thin ringing offwhite head. Aroma is malty, candy apple, caramel, brown sugar. Flavor is heavy malt, toffee and hop. Soft, smooth palate.

Thaichile (599) - 10aFly, New Jersey, USA - APR 20, 2006

Tap. Poured a light amber with out much head. Malt on the nose predominates and that continues on into the mouth with additional sweetness and fruit. Could have had another.

wnhay (722) - Princeton, New Jersey, USA - APR 12, 2006

Poured amber with a thick tan head. Good head retention and creaminess. There were hints of citrus, caramel malts and honey. Very sweet and malty taste which was quite bready. Very sweet citrus finish that was slightly bitter yet effective. Mouthfeel was near perfect because the flavors were well balanced and the alcohol was there but not overdone. Very easy drinking Maibock.

PWalk (337) - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA - APR 11, 2006

Sweet fruit aroma with some malt. Found some citrus notes in the flavor. Poured a dark orange. I enjoyed it enough to order 2.

chronictonic (434) - Oreland, Pennsylvania, USA - APR 8, 2006

Draft - Ludwig’s (Philadelphia) - Color was wrong for a maibock - too dark. Flavor was big, sweet and malty. Aroma was subdued, slightly bready with some notes of malt. A little sweet for me (and I started to suffer from IBU withdrawl), but other than the color, an above average maibock.

Dickinsonbeer (5077) - Hoboken, New Jersey, USA - APR 7, 2006

UPDATED: MAY 4, 2007 Pours a clear medium to light amber with a nice fluffy off hwite head that fades slightly. Aroma of baked bread, light munich malts, toasted malts, and lightly nutty. Flavor has a very subtle smoky medicinal taste, but is mostly hidden by light munich malts, hints of caramel, and lightly nutty, with a decent bitter finish. Maibocks are one of my least favorite styles but this one was very well made and enjoyable.

weeare138 (936) - Collegeville, Pennsylvania, USA - APR 7, 2006

Thanks to dickinsonbeer for this... Appears a light amber with a small white head that fades into a mild collar. Little bits of lacing are left around the glass. Smell is of malty caramel, and fruit with mild citrusy hops coming through. Taste is malty, hoppy with vienna malts, caramel, toffee, and mild hops all being present. Mouthfeel is slightly bubbly with a toffee sweetness.
