| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Oct 24, 2008 Pours red-copper with a good sized light beige head that lasts a long time and leaves decent lacing. Aroma is lots of caramel, toasty, sweet and grainy malts. Hops are present but merely provide a grassy, leafy backdrop to the spectacular malt nose. Flavor is basically a repeat of the nose, with the addition of some nice toffee, buttery and nutty malt notes takeing over quite a bit for the grassy hops. Finish is a pleasant continuation off the toffee, and grain malts, with some leafy and a tiny bit of bitter hops. Body is medium, a little sticky, and a little over carbonated. Overall pretty good, probably one of the best marzens or oktoberfests, including viennas, that I have had. jrmac (213), USA
