Oct 24, 2007 Bottle in sixer from Jewel. I was worried about this one because it was 6 months old. No problem. Pours a dark amber with a decent head. Smells of caramel and yeast. Flavors include caramel, yeast, a bit of wheat and leaves your mouth coated with a caramelly aftertaste. Very nice.

Jan 10, 2005 Thanks to atpayne for this. Pours copper/ruby with a big, creamy, white head. Aroma of big malt, hops, fruit, black pepper, floral, and slight tobacco. Tastes malty, fruity, with some finishing caramel and hops. Great complexity, and well balanced. A great maibock.

May 25, 2003 Dark amber with little head, medium body. Plum, piney, hops (saaz?), and a bit of alcohol detected in the aroma. Sweet and fruity taste (caramel apple) with spicy undertone. Dry Finish. If near Bloomington, highly recommend stopping in and getting one or three on tap.

Aug 25, 2004 Now available bottled. Pours very nice clear amber brown with orange hints and a creamy tan head. It has a great sweet and nutty malted aroma. The flavor is full of nutty roasted malts and sweet carmel malt. The maltiness contributes to the fairly full feeling of this one and it finishes fairly sweet and only mildly sour.

Jul 17, 2006 Pours golden brown with a sweet, banana/apple aroma. A touch of weizen in the scent. Taste is quite roasty and sweet (a lil chocolatey... honey as well) up front with a strong spicy bitterness in the finish (perhaps more than style dictates?) Good carbonation and mouthfeel, but there is a slight cider like tang that keeps it from getting full palate scores. For 7.5% abv, this is incredible- I don’t taste the alcohol anywhere. This is my favorite beer from Upland.
