Feb 4, 2009 22oz bottle, 100 barrel series. Pours reddish orange, topped with a small off-white head. Aroma of caramel, grain, and mild hops. Flavor is primarily grain, with spice, toffee, and hops. Grain lingers on the palate. Medium to full bodied. Very nice O-Fest.

Dec 24, 2007 22oz bottle acquired in trade with ppoitras (thanks!). Poured a medium and slightly hazy orangish / amber color with a large sized off white head. Aromas of caramel, toasted grains, and a little bread. Tastes of caramel, toasted malts, and toffee.
kramer (2407), Sunbury, Pennsylvania, USA
Sep 22, 2007 22 oz bottle. Pours a clean dark copper with a moderate off-white head. Aroma is of caramel and toasty malt, just a little bit of hops. Flavor is sweet caramel & Munich malts and toasted grains with minimal hop bitterness on the finish as well as some alcohol. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with fizzy carbonation. On the heftier side of things at 6.9%, this wasn’t as easy drinking as I had hoped. Drinkable but certainly not a favorite.

May 23, 2007 Clean, crisp yeast aroma. clear light orange color with an extra large white head that diminishes quickly. Good amount of lacing. Clean dried grass/grain taste. Palate it thick like all the Oktoberfests that I am a fan of.
nimbleprop (819), SouthWest, Washington, Washington DC, USA
Feb 14, 2007 Poured a brownish copper from the bomber with a slightly lacing thin white head. Malty aroma reminiscent of fall. Flavor starts and ends with wheat, middle flavor is malty with a touch of toffee. Problem with Octoberfest beers is it’s a simple beer with complex ingredients. Tough to pull off.

Jan 21, 2007 Thanks to zathrus13 for this one. Pours a clear copper with a dash of foamy head. Nose has hints of caramel,wheat and some funky earthiness. The malts do rule the roost here tho’.

Jan 20, 2007 (22 oz. bottle from <A HREF=http://www.ratebeer.com/Place/massachusetts/westborough/julio’s-liquors/461.htm target=blank>Julio’s Liquors) Not too good...Pours clear amber/orange with a tall biscuit head. Nose is some vanilla that fights off an unpleasant metallic, bitter aroma. Mouthfeel kind of full, a bit prickly. Sloppy rings of lacing. Flavor is weakly caramel/vanilla, some metallic, also a strange tar-like flavor. Liked the 6.9% ABV extra kick, otherwise they shouldn’t have released this one in the 100 bbl series.
