Dec 29, 2002 Not only do I get to try a pile of Calumets, I get to add one! Bob’s winter seasonal is a spicy, nutty medium-brown lager with a great caramel/cinnamon/clove aroma and some good pie/nut flavors; finish is long and complex and surprisingly bitter. One of Calumet’s best.

Nov 3, 2002 Updated: Jan 27, 2003Very similar in character to the Dark...loads of sweet malt, fruity and tangy, with intriguing spice and sourness. Mildly astringent with a solid hop presence. This is much different than a typical, German-style marzen, and I'd agree it's more of a Vienna lager. Still, a very well crafted and tasty beer.

Oct 21, 2002 Great Festbier. Sweet and malty with enough hops to fit the style. Nice medium brown color and off-white head. Good complexity and a smooth finish make this one of Calumet’s better beers.

May 10, 2002 A nice lighter fest beer. Munich malt dominates. More of a vienna style.

May 5, 2002 A good, but not superior Oktoberfest ale. I prefer the Lakefront Riverwest Stein to this, frankly.

Nov 26, 2001 Good stuff and well crafted with heavy, but not ominous malts and a fair balance. This is a good little brewery that more of you guys should try.

Apr 18, 2001 Oktoberfest is Oktoberfest, but hot damn is this one 1/2 gallon jug to be savored and respected. A very well-rounded amber brew. The very slight hop prescence during the gulp gets amplified as the beer is swallowed, followed by a fruity, almost tangy aftertaste. The nut prescence is apparent throughout the gulp. Once again, Rowlands Calumet micro-brews stand up to most

Apr 5, 2001 A very good beer. The brilliant amber color is very appealing, and it tastes excellent. Everyone from Chilton should try it. By the way, are you actually ever going to try it ’thealcoholic’ or did you just rate it to screw up the average.
