| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Feb 22, 2009 A reddish copper ale with no head. A pleasant caramel and fruity esters aroma, with light butterscotch and funky notes. In mouth, a murky malt with astringent notes, very light and a bit cloying. On tap at Duclaw Baltimore, Dec. 29 2008. egajdzis (3636), Spring Mount, Pennsylvania, USA

Aroma of toasted malts, caramel, and nuts. Taste of caramel malts, nuts, toast, and light brown sugar. Aurelius (2654), Tallahassee, Florida, 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. kmweaver (2489), Sebastopol, California, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | 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. scraff (1955), Baltimore, Maryland, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | 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...
