Beer Review: Appalachian Brewing Anniversary Maibock

Serving Type: Draft

ABV: 7.2 percent

Appearance: Appalachian Brewing Company's Anniversary Maibock pours a deep golden color. It has a very thin layer of creamy and foamy head that fades fairly fast. Don't expect to much lacing as you drink the beer. Carbonation doesn't seem to be too present either. I wish there was more of a head on this beer, but the color was fairly impressive.

Smell: This beer emanates a strong aroma of alcohol, as evident by the fairly high ABV. If you can get behind the booze, you can sense some attractive aromas such as caramel and honey.

Taste: The honey and caramel tastes are very complementary to the alcohol that is present in this brew. There is also a surprising hop character on the back of the tongue upon drinking this beer.

Anniversary Maibock has a beautiful color and a very interesting, yet fun taste. Would definitely have again. The only downsides were the lack of head and intense aroma and taste of alcohol.
