tennisjoel (725), Shakopee, Minnesota, USA Aug 10, 2008 As part of a sampler at the brewpub. Caramel, nuts, similar to a nut brown ale. True to style, but frankly, fairly boring. Sometimes Octoberfest beers impress me. Not this time. Baumgartner (66), Eau Claire, Wisconsin, USA Jul 3, 2008 July 2nd, 2008 Sample platter. Smelt of bread that had been smoked. A redish,brown brew with a small head that disappeared promptly. Creamy smokey body and aroma. Excellent Marzen CaptainCougar (4637), Rockville, Maryland, USA Nov 18, 2007 On tap at the brewpub on 6/22/07: Pours a transparent dark golden with a thin ring of white head. Aroma of lightly sweet and toasty caramel malt with some noble hops. Body starts with a nice, light Vienna malty sweetness and a fairly full palate. Finishes with nice noble hoppy balance. A pretty good, and true to style Märzen. kp (6200), Woodstock, Georgia, USA Sep 1, 2007 Date: 06/22/2007

BDR (1865), Roseville, Minnesota, USA Aug 24, 2007 On tap at the pub. Dark amber color with a light carmale nose and taste. Sweet with a little nuts and light hop undertones. That almost salty mineral taste is there as well, which the brewmaster informs me is from the local water.
