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.

Dec 26, 2009 Bottle. Pours amber orange with an off white head. Sweet bready malt aroma with some toasty notes. The flavor is malty with notes of toasted bread and a light sweetness. Pretty good.

Dec 5, 2009 This is a decent Oktoberfest style beer but not really my favorite. Still, not bad overall.

Dec 5, 2009 A very good Dunkel but why do they insist on calling it Dogtoberfest when Oktoberfest beers are supposed to be blonde? I don’t know. I poured it into my Budvar stein glass.
Lovely dark ruby red colour texture. Smells of smoke; caramel and nuts. Tough doughy texture for drinkabilitiy. Also sense butterscotch however the alcohol is very moderate.
I have an aged version and it is a good Dunkel but could be so much more. I would like to try this at the brewery. However a very good effort on the Dunkel style either way.

Dec 5, 2009 Dark beer with a good head, malty caramel aroma, malty with a hint of vanilla in the taste, very good, best beer with Oktoberfest / Märzen in the title I have had.

Nov 30, 2009 12oz bottle. Clear copper color. Aroma of malt. Hints of oak and honey scents. Far off in the distant nose is a touch of steamed vegetables. Flavor of bread, honey and a touch of wood. Lots of malt, nice toasted character, a touch of toffee. Well balanced. Finishes with a lingering toasted cereal and the slightest bit of grassy hops bitterness. Very nice.

Nov 29, 2009 Bottle at home:
nice golden brown colouring. Small off-white head. Malty aroma. Flavour is of malts, bread and hops. Quite ok, not a winner imo.

Nov 28, 2009 Dry aroma, with honey and buiscuty, caramel notes. Almost perfect copper colour, with slightly orangy head. Flavour is dry and malty with a hop-bitter finish that lasts in the mouth.

Nov 27, 2009 Bottle, Rehills, Newcastle. I was expecting a pale wheat beer, so this deep orange-brown appearance was a pleasant surprise. An aroma of sherbert and childhood sweets, combined with a warming, bitter flavour and a hint of spice and aniseed makes this a really good drinking beer.
