Swalden_28 (575), McKinney, Texas, USA Mar 27, 2008 I liked this stuff!!! Poured a deep amber color with excellent head retention. Aroma of light sweet malt, spices, and floral notes. Flavor was medium sweet malt flavor with obvious caramel character. medium mouth feel. Great beer!
robforbes (736), Bremerton, Washington, USA Sep 7, 2008 pours a clear light amber-orange with a large white foamy head that lasts awhile, very good lacing.
smell is faint, some malt, some caramel.
taste is watery at first then thickens up, malt, touch of roasted nuts, caramel comes through in the back, bread dough, end is a tad chewy and leave the mouth oily, slight bitter aftertaste. ckau (16), north east, Maryland, USA Sep 7, 2008 deep golden orange color with nice fluffy head. Malty w/ no hop aroma. Some residual sweetness. Easy to drink, clean and soft... robinvboyer (1006), Sturgeon Falls, Ontario, Canada Sep 6, 2008 slightly hazy dark golden pour with a nice white head. Big aroma of bready/biscuity malt, and some nice subtle hops. The flavour is so smooth, and soft, some wicked malt flavours, lots of breadiness, and some great roasted crust. A tinge of apple actually in the finish along with some more sweet malt. What a great example of this style, absolutely spot on! TheGent (32), , Massachusetts, USA Sep 5, 2008 Rich gold amber color. Did a bit of a bad pour on this one which gave it to much head but it evened out soon enough. SOme basic marzen smells and sweet malty taste. But a few tinges of cashews and wood chips keep it interesting. Its ability to be both refreshing and full bodied pushed this one over the 3 mark. michael-pollack (1396), King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, USA Sep 2, 2008 500ml Bottle (with a very cool cap): Lightly sweet aroma of malts, nuts, wood, dry fall leaves, grains, sourdough, and some caramel. Poured amber in color with a medium-sized, dense, creamy, off-white head that diminished but lasted throughout. Clear. Lightly sparkling. Flavor is medium sweet and lightly bitter. Tastes of malts, bitter hops, oak leaves, honey, nuts, grains, rye, and caramel. Light to medium body. Slightly thin, slightly chalky texture. Average carbonation. Malty, lightly bitter, lightly dry finish.
