Well this beer is is the most drinkable, beautifly colored, and an excelent pallet. I mainly enjoy the porters for the dark flavor and the rich aroma as well as the drinkability. Either way I haven’t had much else in a a long time. September is just too short. Braudog (3773), Dayton, Ohio, USA

| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jun 9, 2007 Appearance: Pours a reddish-brown body with a creamy, frothy off-white head. Please, let’s get ready to enjoy ourselves!
Smell: That’s a nice malty aroma -- pleasantly toasty, with hints of brown sugar and caramel. Also, its somewhat fruity, with faint notes of peach puree.
Taste: Malty, sweet flavor that’s notably doughy with hints of citrus and peaches that eventually crosses over into a dry, though quite restrained bitterness.
Mouthfeel: Medium-body further padded with a nice creamy, chewy mouthfeel.
Drinkability: With a rich, complex array of flavors, and an ease of drinkability, this, to me, is one of the better American Oktoberfests. Gusler (2655), Tucson, Arizona, USA

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Aug 8, 2001 One of my favorite Octoberfest brews. Nice and thick with a bready malt backbone and evident Hallertau hoppiness. An excellent, full bodied, well-balanced brew. HighlanderOne (546), Somewherein, New Jersey, USA

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Oct 13, 2002 I am stunned and amazed. It’s an Oktoberfest that I actually really like. Wonderful mouthfeel, huge chewy malts. Nice and nutty, with a hint of smokiness in the finish. Creamy and full-bodied. Without question, the best Oktoberfest I’ve ever encountered.
