| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 7, 2008 1/2 liter bottle. Pleasant aroma, fairly unimposing, a mild yet rich toffee, cookie, and a light lemon-citrus. Pour had a pretty decent, 2 finger bubbly white head, dissipates almost entirely though, clear yet not watery looking, carbonation, blond-burnt orange in color. A good tasting beer, a much smoother and creamier body than would be expected from the style, good variety of malt flavors with a nice toffee/caramel, along with a toasted cookie malt, balanced pretty well with a light citrus/floral hop that produces a very good linger with the malt. Very nice overall, and perhaps undoubtedly the best of the style i have ever tried to this point. MaltDawg (778), Richmond, Virginia, USA

A tall creamy white head that slowly disappeared to just a film. There was some light lacing. A nice earthy sweet malt aroma. There was an initial crisp clean taste with good carbonation. A bit of sweetness at first followed by a good hop bite on the finish. A nice blend of sweet to hops. A nice full flavor and easy drinking Archibaldo de la Cruz (399), Finland

| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Oct 1, 2008 500ml bottle: Pours a pale amber color, just slightly darker than a macro lager. Frothy off-white head. Aroma consists of sweet malt, toffee and some spice. Initial taste is of soft malts and toasted almond. Just when you get the slightest hint of hops it finishes with a sweet, lingering caramel finsh. Softly carbonated with a refreshing mouth feel. Without a doubt the best Octoberfest I’ve had so far this season.
