Nov 22, 2006 On Tap in Baltimore: A true to style beer with lots of caramel malt flavors. There were certainly some wheat flavors and a slight bitter aftertaste after a sweet flavor throughout. A good looking beer.

Nov 12, 2006 After the sampling this weekend, I found this to be worthwile taking home a growler of. Generally a pleasant martzen. Pretty well balanced with a slightly heavier than normal (this is given the other multiple Octoberfest’s I’ve had this year) wheat overtone. Virtually no bitterness and a slight sweet ont he sides of the tongue. Purs a ruddy orange with little head and slight lacing. (Tap 11/11/2006)

Oct 31, 2006 From 1-day-old growler. Pours a reddish-orange color; minimal off-white head. Aroma shows candy sugar, tea-like maltiness, a bit of spice. Crisp, medium mouthfeel: good malt presence, light carbonation; one-dimensional but tasty, hints of belgian sugar and cloves. Very tasty Oktoberfest.

Jul 12, 2006 I’m a fan of the Oktoberfest brew. Last had at the Spring Maryland Beer festival. Much to my suprise, as I was stumbling about the fairgrounds, to come across DuClaw’s tent with a ’Mad Bishop’ sign raised to announce it’s presence on tap, 6 months after its release. Really not the best Oktoberfest, but it is f’ing phenominal in Spring, when another Oktoberfest brew is no where in sight. Sweetness subtly sneaks up on you as the balanced character of the brew fulfills the palate. My Favorite DuClaw brew.

Jan 15, 2006 Bel Air- Poured a clear amber body with a small, off-white foam. Mild, earthy, candied sugar aroma. Th flavors are carmel, light peat smoke, and candied nuts. Not a bad O-fest. Still hasn’t made me a fan of this style, though.

Dec 15, 2005 A typical Oktoberfest. Body is amber with a small off white head. Flavor is sweet and very drinkable.

Dec 4, 2005 12/2/05: On Tap, Bowie.
Light malty aroma with an amber body. No head, no lace. Malts and hops. Malts are sugary with an amber-like quality. Clean finish.

Taste is moderately sweet, caramel, some candi sugar, light cherry, earthy in finish with a touch of peat. Medium body with some stickiness. Evokes a Scottish Ale.
