Pours an excellent deep amber, the kind you’d take home to mom. Smells great too, roasted malts and their autumnal sweetness, along with the classic beery whatever that smell is that I assume is caused by fermentation. Flavor is much like the aroma, but with a little more sweetness at the beginning, and a little more roastiness at the end. It’s great.

Nov 14, 2009 From Premiere Gourmet. Pours peachy colour, and the aroma is fruity peachy. Easy drinking, mild bitterness, and the bitterness is more pronounced than the slight sweetness, a tad smoked. Bang on.

Nov 14, 2009 Pours a light amber color. Aroma is weak with malt and bread smells. Flavor is slightly spicy with malt base and bitterness on the very tail end. Overall a solid Octoberfest.

Nov 8, 2009 12oz bottle from Archer Liquors. Pours amber with a creamy off-white head. Lively carbonated. Aroma is of malt, caramel, grain, hops, and chalk. Taste is of hops, grain, and chalk. Backbone is of dry, caramel malt. Lingering taste of grain and yeast. I was actually surprised how much hop character it had. Mouthfeel is medium and sticky. Very drinkable. Tasty, if not unremarkable.

Nov 8, 2009 Beautiful dark amber pour with a nice white head. Nose is luscious malt, toffee, and warm, earthy spices. Flavor follows the nose, and the low hopping makes for an extremely rich, chewy, malt forward brew. I really appreciated this variation on the style. In fact, it blows away most of the ’skunky oktober-lagers’ that we get inundated with. This is my favorite so far, and if you are looking for a smooth, malt-dominated oktoberfest ... this one is a winner. Wish I had more.

Nov 5, 2009 Pours clear copper / amber with a small off-white head. The aroma has sweet lager malt, caramel, slight cracker and a hint of spice. This is drier on the aroma that most Oktoberfests. Medium body that’s lightly rough and has a moderate amount of carbonation. The taste is also on the dry side for the style with dry caramel, spicy hops and lots of smoothness and some spice. The finish has a creamy taste. Very solid for the style.
