| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Nov 1, 2009 22oz bottle. Clear amber pour with a medium off-white head. Aroma of lager yeast, caramel and grainy malt. Grainy malt flavor with some caramel, and a bit of a boozy finish. Not a style that responds well to being imperialized.

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 31, 2009 22 oz. bottle shared by Tmoney99. Pours a clear copper color with a small off white head. The aroma is sweet caramel, slight bready, hints of fruit, and a weird bubble gum note. The flavor is caramel malt, bready, hints of fruit, earthy bitterness, and alcohol. There was a tingly sensation to the finish. This is worth trying once, but I would not seek it out again. maniac (2770), Richmond, Virginia, USA

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 28, 2009 Better than expected, thanks Radek. Though scary alchohol content adn title of imperial octoberfest, and furthermore sourness in the aroma, it was a decent drinkable beer. Carbonation right there, pepper, average mouthfeel, lace onto a Caesar head. beachbum25 (805), Powellville, Maryland, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Dec 23, 2009 22 oz bomber-amber pour w/a moderate tan head. Floral hop aroma. Has quite a hop kick to it, this is a big beer. Flavors of floral hop w/malt, caramel, & toffee. Alcohol is quite evident, even a little harsh. May need to age a while, has a pretty sharp bite to it, but mellowed out as it warmed. I would really prefer a Balto MarzHon over this, much smoother. sinkr (241), Lusby, Maryland, USA
