Cletus (5001), Connecticut, USA Nov 1, 2009 Pours copper with a white head. Smells of sweet malt, some spicy hints. Tastes spicy and sweet with a peppery finish. blipp (1630), Newark, New Jersey, USA Oct 19, 2009 Amber with a white head. Lightly toasty grainy aroma, some sweeter toffee notes and a hint of spice. Balanced malty flavor. Sweet, toasty, a little nutty. A light nutmeg-like spiciness. Tasty. doubleo (1096), San Diego, California, USA Oct 18, 2009 12oz bottle from dmac. Pours amber with virtually no head. Smells of sweet, cereal malts and a hint of spice. Tastes good. More smooth and flavorful and less metallic tasting than many other O’Fests I’ve had. Sweet, caramel malts, slight spice flavor, almost pumpkin like. Medium body, slight syrup, good carbonation. Smooth. Soonah (900), Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA Oct 14, 2009 From dmac via trade. The pour was copper, the head white. Very little lacing. The aroma was sweet malts and a bit of grain. The flavor too was dominated by tons of sweet malts and some grain. Light citrus towards the finish. Thin mouthfeel. joeyplush (328), Garnet Valley, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 10, 2009 Grainy malt aroma with yeast. Copper appearance, thinnish white head. Flavor of spices and nutmeg, some sweet malt. Sweet lingering finish. jredmond (1015), New Jersey, USA Oct 6, 2009 Bottle split with BigTony. Pours a clear amber body with small white lacing. Aroma is light malt. Taste is sweet malt, pretty bland. KAggie97 (2406), Ugly, Hot, and Humid Spring, Texas, USA Oct 2, 2009 Bottle from Dmac. Thanks, David! Pours a nice, chunky amber with a healthy head of white that leaves a delicate latticework of lacing. Aroma is watery isopryl alcohol base with chunks of pumpkin biscuit floating in it. Flavor is a delicate balance of nutty malt, roasted malt, and a touch of pumpkin spice in the finish. Tingly mouthfeel that subsides too quickly. A nice beer; I’d drink this again. rman18 (200), South Amboy, New Jersey, USA Sep 28, 2009 Not your average Ocktoberfest. This beer has a lighter then normal toffee/caramel flavor which makes it quite drinkable. Also has a slight cherry aftertaste. One of the better oktoberfests that I have tried.
