Oct 22, 2004 2004 batch. Served at Duclaw’s rollout party of 2004. Served in a ceramic pint complimentary glass. Color is dark amber, a true Octoberfest colored beer. Aromas are of sweet malts, slight toastiness, earthy hops. Balanced to a "tee". Maltiness is well balanced by the noble hops, and nothing stands out above anything else. Smooth, creamy mouthfeel lends itself to easy drinkability.
Rich mouthfeel isn’t too thick, nor too thin, but just right. A first class Octoberfest beer from the gang at Duclaw’s. You owe it to yourself to get a couple of growlers to go, like I did, before it’s all gone.

Nov 2, 2003 Mild hops for an Oktoberfest, but a nice tangy character that makes it a truely enjoyable drink.

Oct 27, 2003 Dark amber appearance with a fruity, floral aroma. Taste had a toasted malt flavor with a bit of nuttiness. Some sweetness, but not enough to be distracting. Smooth, finish with a small degree of spiciness.

Oct 23, 2003 Fest beer not my thing. Deep copper, no lacing. A bit fruity with only the small hints off toffee and caramel you would expect in a Marzen. Drinkable, but not Duclaw's best work. Seems like the masses really liked it though, so what do I know...

Oct 19, 2003 Nice steady 'fest bier. Pleasant enough to drink a liter, but slightly behind their other offerings. Slightly cloying finish.

Oct 23, 2002 This beer rocks.
Handsome beer. Pristine copper hue. Medium sized, white, frothy head with good lacing. Very malty, slightly sweet. Lively carbonation. Full bodied with a creamy mouthfeel. Finishes nice and fairly dry (for an Oktoberfest.
