Tap at the brewery. Creamy, reminiscent of malt liquor in some respects. Amber malts, not exactly expert lagering. Full bodied at 6.4%. Not so impressive, old school.

On tap at Big Head. At 8.2 perhaps the strongest of the Maibocks I've had this year. Surpringly quite enjoyable, they did a good job with this one. Filtered copper orange body, thin head/full pour. Big, bready, old school Bock. Full bodied, solid lager tone. Good.
