Bottle Copper pour with wimpy head on some, decent head on others. Floral hop aroma and flavor. Too light on the malt. Nothing special, decent session.

12oz bottle pours dark amber with a frothy tan head. Aromas of floral hops over nice munich and caramel malts. Flavor is mostly munich and vienna malt. A good dose of caramel and some slight german hops at the finish. Smooth and well carbonated with a good soft mouthfeel. Nice example of the style. Enjoyable!

Fruity malt aroma is balanced with a good amount of hops, but the beer lacks any real character. Just OK.

Not a bad ockoberfest but not great. It has a decent floral hops flavor with a malty finish, although it is nothing special. I found it to be somewhat boring...

Bottled. Amber colour, small white head. Aroma is caramel, hops, some nice maltyness. Flavour is big raisins, malts along with some hops. Carbonation tickles the tongue in a nice way.

Rated while drinking: Pours copper red. Almost the same color as the label. There’s an off-white head on top that’s starting to disappear. Aroma is of sweet malts and something wet. Like wet grass or soggy bread or before you pop some sort of pastry in the oven. Tastes pretty identical to the flavor but theres a nice rip of flavor from some hops at the end. This counters the malts really well. Something that tastes like a dirty bottle in the middle though. Palate is actually a bit more watery than I expected. Dry at the end. Pretty drinkable, but maybe too much for the style. I like all these seasonal brews coming out for the fall, but this Brooklyn seasonal seems lacking.

Bottle@chris_o. Raisin and floral aroma. Amber/orange color, yellowish head, good lace. Raisin, caramel, portish notes, well hopped and floral. Lightly cloying but a dry finish.
