Oct 30, 2008 Pours identical to regular DG, deep amber with a 1/2 inch head. Aroma is sweet like DG, but has a touch more alcohol. Flavor is still true to a maibock, but with a little more alcohol and quite a bit more hop. Very good beer.

Oct 30, 2008 On tap at Mad Mex near Pitt. Beyond a strong ale. Certainly huge hops but big malt and sweetness, port and fruit flavors and though really big the alcohol is not prevalent.

Oct 29, 2008 Bottle.
Head is initially average sized, frothy, off-white, mostly diminishing.
Body is medium to dark amber.
Aroma is lightly to moderately malty (caramel, cereal), lightly to moderately hoppy (flowers, apricot), with a light note of alcohol.
Flavor is moderately to heavily sweet, lightly acidic, lightly to moderately bitter.
Finish is lightly to moderately sweet, lightly acidic, moderately to heavily bitter.
Medium to full body, watery/syrupy texture, lively carbonation, lightly to moderately alcoholic.
Pretty dull. Not much going on in the nose, and the malt character seems a bit crude (soggy corn flakes). Mouth experience isn’t much better.

Oct 28, 2008 Poured amber brown into the glass. Aroma was caramel and piney hops. Taste was much the same, nice bitterness throughout, as well as orange and sweet malt. But all the pieces never quite came together. Fairly straightforward american strong, but never quite came together for me.
