Poured a crystal clear dark copper with tall, foamy tan head. There was a good amount of carbonation bubbles rising in the glass while checking out the appearance. The aroma was a nice malty bread one. The flavor was a mild malt sweetness with a slightly dry finish with a bit of a hops bitterness. This could be a session beer.

Dec 28, 2009 Light orange color with a small head. Aroma is sweet caramel malts and some mild spice with a hint of fruit. Flavor is sweet, grain, hint of wheat and some spice. A bit earthy, not bad.

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.
