| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 25, 2007 Arundel Mills location. Light auburn brown pour. Canned pineapple, nutmeg and brown sugar on the nose, with plenty of candy tones. Hints of allspice and creamy pistachio sweetness; lovely. Heavy banana sugar leads the flavor, especially bold in the sense of its rotted out flesh; baked pears and crisp spices in clove and dry gum on the back end. Warm honey and full malt structure beneath. Pleasant, understated, and distinctive. Slippery, and medium bodied in the mouth. An interesting and well-nuanced example. wickedpete (629), Lexington Park, Maryland, USA

Flavor is sweet up front with some wheatiness. I generally don’t care much for Oktoberfest beers, but this one I can handle. dlovell2 (143), Columbia, Maryland, USA

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Dec 9, 2006 Bright red, barely brown. Small tan head. That sweet-toasty marzen aroma. A bit tart, underbittered, lightly sweet. Again with the soapiness in the flavor profile - don’t know if that’s a house flavor or a bad dishwasher. Move on, nothing to see here.
