A decent example of the Octoberfest style. Nothing too over the top exciting about this one, but it is drinkable and fits the season. mutant (854), Melbourne, Australia
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Jun 25, 2009 Dark amber with a small white head. Sweet aroma and a very sweet taste with malts dominating. Hardly any bitterness until the aftertaste, which also has quite a bit of alcohol. Just OK. gservo (21), New Jersey, USA

It’s a Marzen ale apparently? Hmmm...
Attractive looking amber body with smooth, creamy beige head that clings to the side.
Particularly nutty malt aroma. Plenty of caramel and toffee, subtle roastiness, cereally grain, vanilla and hint of floral hop.
Smooth full body, carbonation is moderate, creamy texture coats mouth with a slight lingering bitter dry note.
Malt drives the body; plenty of sweet biscuit, caramel, roasted nuts, subtle bitter orange and spice. Finishes with a moderate balancing bitterness and bready dryness.
A tasty "ale" indeed. I quite enjoy this style when it’s made with a nice robust malt body, and this one certainly delivers. Nice! BrandonB (87), Denton, Texas, USA
