Dark caramel color with a disappearing head. Weak aroma, mostly yeast and a little earthiness to it. Flavor was standard Oktoberfest - quite a bit of spice and typical German yeast. Smooth on the palate.

Dec 18, 2009 A good Maerzen. Pours to an amber-brown color with a small head, that rises and goes away quickly. Nose is filled with flowery hoppy aromas with roasted malt and a faint sweet note. The flavor is rather unassuming and not overpowering. A good balance of hops and roasted malts. Good carbonation. Mouthfeel is medium heavy, coats well, no heavy aftertaste.

Nov 26, 2009 In short: A spicy soft candy in a bottle. Not bad, fun at first, but a single 12oz bottle is enough.
How: Bottle 12oz. Consumed fresh a few weeks after Oktoberfest. Sent to me as a bonus by nimbleprop, thanks a lot Andrew
The look: Clear amber body topped by a short lived beige head
In long: The light nose offers a lightly spiced bakery dessert aroma. Taste is a little more intense than the shy nose. Bready malts, some soft candies, light spicy notes of cinnamon and nutmeg, woody hops, dry tree bark, some berries, earthy notes. Overall I had a sensation of those soft sweet chewy spicy candies. Body was a oily and carbonation fizzy. The spicy character was taking more and more room as I drank my bottle and by the end of the bottle it was getting a little too much. Overall a decent but forgettable beer. USA is not the place to enjoy the best Oktoberests, but they have great wild spring breaks with chicks making out.

Nov 22, 2009 From a bottle poured brown with a fair amount of head. Spicy malty flavor with a lingering aftertaste.

Nov 12, 2009 Malty, amber bodied, thick head, Marzen with adequate bitterness and a crisp spiced flavor. This is my first Dominion beer since Coastal has taken over brewing the line.

Nov 1, 2009 Yeasty aroma of roasted malt and cherries. Crystal clear dark amber, thin head. Medium bodied, soapy and frothy. Bitter malt, oak finish. Leans toward a weak brown ale.

Oct 17, 2009 Earthy yeast aroma, dark amber slightly cloudy, tan head which starts out thick and creamy but thins out rather quickly. Flavor is pretty robust, lightly spicy and smooth. Better than I expected overall.
