It was a long, long time ago, that the Hofbräu Maibock was brewed for the first time: In 1614 the bottom-fermented beer specialty filled beer steins for the first time. Even today, Munich's oldest bock beer is still as popular as ever with its full-bodied, malty flavor. The relatively high alcohol content of 7.2% Vol. doesn’t do things half-way – and satisfies, especially honest beer connoisseurs.

Optisch orangekupferfarben und klar mit gelborangen Reflexen und sehr feiner Perlage, die langsam nach oben steigt. Die cremefarbene, feinporige Schaumkrone wirkt wässerig-flaumig und hält mäßig gut. In die Nase strömt herrlicher Duft von Brot, Karamell, leichtem Toasting, würzigem Waldhonig, aber ebenso würzig-kräuterig hopfig. Der Antrunk kommt süßlich-röstig, karamellig, toastig, zart würzig und kräuterig hopfenherb. Im Mund zeigt sich ein voller und weicher, marginal wärmender Körper, eine feine und weiche Rezenz, eine samtige bis sämig-ölige Textur und eine sehr zarte Trockenheit. Geschmack und Aromen sind weiterhin süßlich, brotig bis toastig und karamellig und gehen in eine süßlich-würzige, leichte Hopfenherbe mit kräuterigen und zart holzigen Noten über. Man vernimmt auch schon leichte Anklänge von Dörrobst (Pflaume, Rosine, ...). Ein voluminöses, harmonisches und überraschend gut trinkbares Bier - direkt im Hofbräuhaus aus dem Maßkrug ein echter Traum! Am Ende bleibt ein langlebiger, breit malziger, süßlicher Nachtrunk mit zart würzigem, kräuterigem, süßlich-herbem Hopfenfinish.

Cute little bottle. Clear chestnut. Caramel, apple, roasted sweetness. Juicy, sweet. Not too soft, but also not boozy. Creamy. Not bad.

On tap at Hofbräu Zum Lindwurm Klagenfurt. Clear amber coloured, medium sized off-white head, caramel and light malty nose. Sweet malty, caramel, dried fruits and touch of alcohol with dry sweet finish. Bit too sweet.

Bottle. Strong smell, a little too strong. Smells and tastes a little too sweet though still very drinkable and goes down smooth.

0.33l bottle at Base Camp. Shiny coppery body, off-white head. Sweetish dry grainy malty aroma, vague dried fruit. Dry taste, dried fruit, some maltiness, herbal by the finish, quite pleasant!
