Brooklyn Oktoberfest

Brewed by Brooklyn Brewery
Style: Oktoberfest/Märzen
Brooklyn, New York USA

Smells very sweet and malty. Taste is very malty with a plastic caramel taste to it. Not bad, but there are better out there.

bottle i assume is from last year by way of machfive55. it pours a medium brown with coppery hues and a soft light tan head. aromas of sweet cereal grains, wood, grass and earthy spice. the flavor leans on sweetened toasty grain, mild spice and grass with a bitter dry finish. that bitterness lingers a while in the aftertaste. medium body with an average mouth feel...

12oz bottle. Wow, I’m surprised that not many other people enjoyed this one. This was my favorite so far this year. Chestnut/amber color pour with a frothy small off white head. Initially a fairly sweet and malty aroma and it becomes even more so as it warms. A bit fruity with spice, cinnamon and molasses. This is by far the maltiest Oktoberfest I’ve had. It’s got molasses, grain, malt, and a touch of spicy/earthiness (that I suppose is hop related). Very enjoyable. Full bodied with a slightly dry finish. Get some!

Pours transparent amber color with a frothy off white head. Crisp malty aroma. Flavor is a little light, sweet malt, with some biscuit and some grassy hops that come off a little metallic. The body is crisp, but a little too carbonated and light. Overall a refreshing, but somewhat disappointing beer for an Oktoberfest.

Not the best Oktoberfest... I actually like the Sam Adam’s better. It has a good palate and just OK malt flavor. Strong caramel/toffee flavor. The best part about this beer is the aroma. Good to try but its just average.

Bottle (35 cl) from Systembolaget. Clear amber, medium short head. Bready and biscuity aroma with spicy hops. Slightly over-carbonated. Dry and crisp finish. Quite refreshing but not a typical Oktoberfestbier.

Bottled. Pours out in a clear amber colour with a fluffy disappearing off-white foam. Nutty and caramely aroma with sharp metallic and vegetal undertones. Malty flavour of nuts, caramel, biscuit, metal and toasted malts. Quite dry finish of toasted malts and spicy hops.

Poured from the bottle an amber color with a nice tan head. The aroma was spicy and malty with some bread like characteristics. On taste it instantly hits you as a sweet beer. It seems a bit light in body for what the aroma was. A lot of malt flavors in the body and it finished slick. I don’t this is an Oktoberfest I would hunt down again, though it wasn’t bad and I wouldn’t turn it down if offered.
