Oct 25, 2007 The beer has a fresh aroma with caramel and a distinctive grain bin smell. Smells exactly like being in the brewery when an Oktoberfest is being brewed. Gold to copper color with a creamy head. Big grain taste with a non-hop bite at finish. Hearty and dense mouthfeel.

Oct 19, 2007 Pours a deep, clear copper with a dense, frothy, beige head that reduces to a thin cap of bubbles. The aroma is bready malt with caramel and fruity hops rounding out the nose. The mouthfeel is on the light side of medium-bodied with a slick almost creamy mouthfeel that concludes in a clean, lightly dry finish. The flavor is of toasted bread, caramel and lightly fruity hops. After sampling over a dozen "traditional" Oktoberfests, this is easily my favorite of those available in bottles.

Oct 11, 2007 On tap, 10/10/07. Pours a deep amber color, stark white foam with less than spectacular retention and great lacing. Aroma is chock full of malt, lots of caramel. Flavor is all about the malt, just enough spicy hops to keep things in check, but man what a malt bomb. Great mouthfeel, great beer. Always one of my favorite Oktoberfests.

Oct 7, 2007 From draft at World of Beer Oktoberfest : Pours dark gold with a quick dieing head. Kinda of a appley aroma. Flavor was roasted, and palate was watery for a marzen. Very carbonated. Finishes with a watery caramel aftertaste.
