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.

330ml bottle. Opalescent, redd-ish, dark amber colour with small to average, frothy to creamy, half-way lasting, moderately lacing, white head. Mellow malty and slightly fruity hoppy as well as yeasty fruity aroma, hints of caramel, dark honey, strawberry. Taste is sweet, mellow and slightly toasty malty, mildly bitter hoppy, minimally yeasty fruity, hints of caramel, some dark honey, a touch of srawberry, nutty overtones.
Dissolved sugar enriched, watery texture, smooth and soft palate, medium to fine, mildly prickly carbonation.
Very nice colour, a tad disharmonious, rather sweet - OK.

Rerate from cute 0.25l bottle found at REWE. Still looks quite nice, honeyish juicy malt, heather honey notes, spritzy dry, dry spice, nice juicy motes, not cloying or alcoholic anymore, pleasant enough.

Bottle from Drankenhandel Leiden. Aroma is sweet bready toasted malt with caramel, notes of ripe fruits and soft floral-ish hops. Sweet flavour with a light bitterness. Medium body, mouthfeel a bit sticky. Pretty decent, lots of sweet toasted malt with some fruity tones.
