Received 12-oz bottle via trade with 5000. Pours a hazy caramel amber brew with a very thick and lumpy head that hold a retention that could last until tomorrow. Aroma of caramel malt, some light pear, sweet sugar cookie dough and a touch of roasted nuts. Taste is smooth, creamy, medium bodied, with flavors of light caramel malt, some apple/pear fuit, flowery hops and a touch of cotton candy. Finish is semi-sweet with a mild caramel aftertate that quickly disappears.

Pours a dark rich amber with a lovely fluffy white head. Toasty malt aroma; I like the previous rater’s description of "honeysuckle."
This one shines in flavor. Toasty malt, honey-roasted nuts, some nice summer field-grass, just a nice mellow hop twist on the close like a hint of orange peel, a hint of spice. Maybe just a touch too much brown sugar, but still splendidly drinkable, I’m really really impressed. Right on!

Apr 7, 2008 Bottle from riversideAK. Thanks Alex! Pours a clear orange amber with a thin white head and lace. Nose of rich malts, honeysuckle, caramelized sugar. Very easy drinker. Light body with lots of flavor. This is one of the better marzens I have ever had.
