Oct 12, 2005 Poured a clear light brownish-amber color with a fizzy thin off-white head. Malty aroma and flavor with caramel and toast. Clean bitter finish. Actually seems warming.

Oct 3, 2005 Bottle, coppery pour. Nice slightly-sweet malty aromas and flavors - molasses, some biscuit, some notes of spicy noble hops. Just a kiss of acidity. A really well-balanced marzen imo. Good stuff.

Sep 24, 2005 Sometimes Dominion’s beers come across a little thin, but this was a nice effort. Better than several that I’ve tried this week, including some official German examples. Flavorsome, malty, subtly hoppy, nice.

Sep 22, 2005 Dark red-brown coppery color, nice foamy head -- fades fast, no lace. Aromas of malt, earth, fresh hay, chocolate, hops and yeast. Flavors are well-hopped malt, caramel, molasses, dark fruit, grapefruit, herby hops, bready yeast and alcohol. Bitter finish. Nice mouthfeel. Well balanced malt to hop ratio. Plenty of malt, though, maybe more like a strong lager.

Sep 18, 2005 Orange-hued gold color with a thin, white head. A dry, toasty, toasted marshmallow aroma with just a little green hop underneath and some sulphur from a classsic lager ferment. Flavor has a wonderful, toasted campfire marshmallow and bready character. I like that alot. It is dry but not bitter I assume from the long lagering period. Richly malty but also very drinkable.

Sep 18, 2005 12 oz bottle pours copper transparent with a nice creamy tan head that laces pretty well. Beautiful to look at. Aroma of bread, rich vienna malts, and a decent amount of German hops. Flavor is quite malty and sweet. Caramel, bread, some decent hops on the finish. This is very balanced. Malty like an Octoberfest should be with a fair amount of hops to balance it out. Medium bodied and very drinkable.

Sep 10, 2005 Clean aroma, bready malt, and a whiff of typical lager sulfur. Crystal clear amber color, solid white head. Clean bread crust malt flavor, even balance, a little noble hop flavor in the finish. Medium body, smooth. A very drinkable oktoberfest.
