Presentation: It was served on tap at the Buffalo Central Terminal Oktoberfest. Appearance: It had a dark brunt amber color with good clarity and a small creamy off white colored head. The head slowly faded leaving just a small ring of bubbles on top with some slick lacing that slid down the glass as I drank. Smell: The aroma was sweet and malty with hints of caramel and a good dose of spicy/herbal hops. Taste/Mouth feel: It has a solid malty body with pleasant roasted and caramel notes. The hop presence is solid as well and brings nice spicy and herbal notes with mellow bitterness. It has a medium to full body with a well balanced smooth finish. The texture is smooth and slightly slick with good carbonation. Notes: This Octoberfest was very enjoyable and highly drinkable.

On tap @ Coles Buffalo NY. Very average marzen. Mild malt aroma & flavor. some caramel malt sweetness. watery. drinkable but marginally good

pours clear orange-gold, thin head dissipates quickly. aroma was light sweet malt. first taste was nice clean roasted flavors. biscuit and brown sugar came though after a few. unfortunately the soapy hop found in the all together unpleasant barn stormer pale ale became noticeable. it was faint, but distracted from the otherwise nice taste and aroma profile. carbonation was somewhat fizzy as well. has good potential, and i wouldn’t turn one down, but some negative elements bring it down for me.

On tap at Colter Bay Grill. A funky Octoberfest IMO. Pours a clear copper/orange body with practically no head. Sugar aroma with some slight malt and hop scents. Very sweet caramel flavor with a thin spiced finish. Pretty average Flying Bison.

Clear, light, golden amber w/ creamy white foam. Slightly toasty, sweet & malty (caramel, toffee, cookie dough) w/ notes of honey. Light body. Flavour is sweet & malty w/ a candy-ish yeastiness. Finish is mildly cloying.
