Apr 17, 2009 Bottle with Red Wax top. Bottling Date 4/27/07. Michael Jacksons Beer Club. Shared with TomThompson & the Camerons crew. Decent Marzen. Stronger than most @7%. Amber pour, aromas of sweet malts & mild hops. Similar to Eliot Ness IMO. Taste is smooth, malty, balanced & little bite for 7%. Nice Marzen

Pours a nice dark golden amber color, nice carbonation, not much of a head, but will see with the next pour, some slight oil slicks and sticky lacing around the edges. The nose is malty, very slight hop, nice caramel notes. The taste is malty, slight hop, nice touch of caramel. The finish is slightly dry/bitter. I don’t believe it’s 7% ABV, if it is very well hidden. Medium body. Very drinkable, like most, if not all GT Cellar Reserves another awesome brew. Would definitely recommend this one.

Sep 7, 2008 1 quart & 1.8 oz bottle. Pours a cloudy amber-brown color with a nice, clingy, beige head that lasts for a while. Taste is of malt, hops, caramel and is on the sweet side. I am surprised that this is at 7% abv, because it hides it very well. I thought it would be around 5%. Very smooth and almost too easy to drink. Has a very nice mouthfeel, that is kind of sticky and the flavors tend to linger. The aroma is the same as the taste, but is fairly pleasant and quite noticeable. I’ll have to revisit this one later, but this is a pleasant beer that should be tried as it is a very enjoyable and drinkable brew.

Jun 7, 2008 Bottle from the Michael Jackson Rare Beer Club. Swing-top with red wax seal. Pours a still amber with only spotty large bubble. Nose is caramel, buttery biscuit, light spicy hops and fruit notes. taste is sweet and spicy. Spicy, earthy hops, sweet malts, caramel, hints of toffee and fruit. Body is light-medium and slick. Alcohol begins to show towards the end. The finish results in more sweet malty flavors, chewy caramel, spicy hops, ripe fruits, light toffee and some bready notes.

May 10, 2008 Good malty caramel nose, hints of grassy and light fruits. Pours a reddish amber with nice white head. Carmel malts, buttery, with a lot of grassy hops, caramelized apples, sweet with a dry bitter finish. Not bad for a marzen.
