Big time maple aroma. Nice amber color with no head. Slightly sweet withe a good maple taste. Some chocolate flavors come through too. I need to try a regular 31 to compare it to, but it was a good firkin. bma4573 (136), Mechanicsville, Maryland, USA

Aroma is spicy, scotch ale-like, medium malt-caramel. Taste is spicy, scotch ale-like, medium malt-caramel, peat. carpediembp (9), Lutherville, Maryland, USA does not count | 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Feb 11, 2008 This is a good oktoberfest beer. Its actually a Munich Dunkel, the first of this kind I have ever had. Since this is my first I don’t really have much to compare it to, but as far as overall quality it lives up to DuClaw’s great reputation. Near no head, amber color, not really heavy, clean finish, and the spices are definitely tasted after the maltyness sets in. Miver (580), WillowStreet, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Dec 28, 2007 Draft at Fell’s Point. Poured amber color with no head. Aroma has hints of cinnamon and nutmeg. It’s quite malty with Toffee and Caramel, but that’s quickly overpowered by the spices. Nothing outstanding. jason (1627), Easton, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Dec 27, 2007 Growler Sampled at YEHA. Light hoppy aroma. Sweet, lightly bitter taste, light berry flavor and spices. Light hops, a little weak. Thin body. Cobra (1066), In a van, down by the river, Maryland, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Dec 26, 2007 On tap at Bowie. Poured out a bright, clear amber color, with a minimal white head. Aromas are of Munich malts, with cinnamon and nutmeg galore. A little over spiced if you ask me. Flavors are dominated by cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, but there is some malty notes as well. Medium mouthfeel, decent body. Smooth, but a little too much spice for my liking.
