Holdwine (832), Beertimore, Maryland, USA Oct 30, 2007 Average fest beer. A bit watery and without direction. A letdown based upon earlier reviews. beachbum25 (602), Powellville, Maryland, USA Oct 23, 2007 On tap-Maryland Brewer’s Oktoberfest. Reddish Brown color w/a moderate tan, foamy head. Roasted malt aroma. Sweet flavor of caramel, cane sugar, roasted malt, & figs. Little bit of a bread dough taste to it. Good mouthfell, nice finish. Decent Brew lamas (576), Adams Morgan, Washington DC, USA Sep 29, 2007 On tap. Clear reddish-brown body with a minimal light-tan head. Medium body. Not as thin as most other brews at Franklin’s. Lots of sweet caramel and chocolatey malts dominate the aroma and flavor. A drying finish. Unique for the style. ryan (1707), Beltsville, Maryland, USA Sep 15, 2007 Clear dark amber body with a tiny white head. The aroma is vienna malts, biscuit, light cotton candy and caramel. The flavor is lightly sweet with tea, biscuit, dough and light herbal hops. Medium/light body is soft with light carbonation and a bit thin on the finish. Average O’fest. argo0 (6230), Washington DC, USA Oct 8, 2005 Clear red-brown body with off-white head. Aroma is minimal at first, but warming helps considerably -- medium sweet, caramel, some chocolate, light herbal. Taste is medium sweet, caramel, some cherry, chocolate, earthy, nutty, light herbal. Watery light-medium body. Definitely has a few flavors I do not associate with O-fest, but that might not be a bad thing.
