Oct 17, 2009 22oz bottle via hagen. Pours a clear copper with a small beige head. Nose is all about the malts and a bit biscuity. Taste starts with some sweet toffee, then some almonds, biscuits, cocoa, and more toffee in the finish/aftertaste. Not much in the way of hops but i do get a touch of smoke in the aftertaste. Finish is semi-dry, carbonation is just right for the style. Body is medium. A very nice Octoberfest that is spot-on for the style. baron continues to impress me with their tasty, easy-t-drink beers. WAAAY under-rated.

Jun 20, 2009 Dark amber to light copper color. Moderate beige head. LIghtly sour grain and fruit scents. Not a clean lager nose. LIghtly acid and acetic qualities in the flavors as well. Some decent toasted malt and hearty bread in the flavors. A sour dough quality. Some over ripe strawberries in the finish and into the linger. Not a clean brew.

Dec 6, 2008 Typical marzen coloring and aroma, though a bit more muted than some of the better versions. Decent enough taste and balance, again following the standard marzen.

Oct 23, 2008 This is a pretty good beer. The flavor is definitely malty but not too much. Crisp and light also. Easy drinking oktoberfest.
