Flavor - good maltiness, slight caramel. Med-light body. Hops balance, but in the background. Overall, a decent oktoberfest--a little dark and lacking head, but flavor is pretty close. Good drinking beer.

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Oct 25, 2008 Dark brown pour with slight orange tinge. Not much head or any lacing. Not too complex enjoyable beer. It was possibly served too cold but opened up a bit after warming. Nice malty aroma. Dark chocolate, coffee, burnt toast. Slight hoppy bitterness after toward end of glass. I’ve not experienced many Ocktoberfest beers, but I’m looking forward to higher quality ones after experiencing this one.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 24, 2008 Pours dark brown, no head. Aroma is mostly malty sweetness, with some roastiness and hop. Flavor starts with sweet caramel and molasses, with a slightly roasty finish. Sweetness returns for the aftertaste. Must emphasize that it’s sweet, but not too sweet as many O-Fests are. Medium to full body. Pretty well put together.
