A full-bodied lager beer of exuberant and robust character. It’s muscle-man body comes from decocted German malts and noble German hops. Lagered long and cold to refine its strong temperament, St. Boisterous emerges smooth and seductive, with a malty sweet charm. This classic rendition of the German ‘maibock' style will warm your heart.

bottle sample at Dark Lord Day - Pours pale gold with a thin head. The aroma is very light with a hint of citrus. The flavor is sweet and malty with light citrus and alcohol notes creeping in. It’s pretty good, but not very interesting. rerate in May 2010 from 800 degrees - Aroma of pale malt, light hops. Taste is sweet, biscuit accented malt, light to moderate bitterness, and a touch of fruit. 7/3/7/4/14.

I am rather fond of Victory Brewing. I had not heard of this offering from them but jumped at the chance to try it. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a dark golden amber color with a medium sized yellow-white head. The aroma is sweet and vaguely vegetal. The mouthfeel is thick and syrupy. The flavor has a heavy sweet malt front with a mildly vegetal undertone and a nice malt finish. There is a mild alcohol burn on the finish as well.

AOBF 04. Draught. Fairly light orange-yellow, quite rusty, maybe a touch of haziness, with a small off-white head. Aroma of sweet/sour german yeast, medium dry barley and some very soft german hops. Body is medium and the flavor is quite balanced. Soft yeasty sweetness, light caramel taste on the finish with light hops (tettnangs) lingering in the background. Quite mild, couldnt find much complexity. Big earthy, mineralesque flavors as well. Well balanced, tending more towards sweet, but nothing really jumped out and grabbed my attention as I drank it. That’s ok though.

I love this strong malty bock, available only recently in bottles. A spring seasonal from Victory. Its a lightish caramel color, a bit ambery. Malty clean aroma. Strong malt flavor. Hints at toffee. Alcohol presence is just detectable. Maybe a wee bit on the heavy side on the whole, making it hard to drink alot of these, but it sure is fun to try.
