Jan 20, 2008 Finally found my ratings... Pours darker reddish brown with light head. Heavy malt aroma with some caramel malts. Flavor is slightly roasted caramel with malt.

Jan 5, 2005 (12 oz bottle: The Cellars in Roseville, MN) Rather hearty and flavorful Oktoberfest, malty, caramely, lightly toasty, with some sweetness and a mild bitterness in the finish. I appreciate that the sweetness is kept under control and isn’t the dominating feature of the flavor. The aroma is somewhat malty, but overall is pretty damn light. Medium body with a strong carbonation tingle on the palate. Dark amber color is pretty dark for the style, and there’s a slight haze that isn’t clearing up as the beer warms. Small off-white head retreats to a thin ring along the edge of the glass, and lacing is minimal. Pretty decent beer, definitely worth trying, but not in my upper echelon for the style.

Sep 13, 2004 2004 ABR. Malty, roasted malt aroma. Chocolate and caramel notes. Dark amber, orangish brown. Totally diminishing off-white head. Flavor is not good. Served too warm firstly. All malt, no hops (which isn’t exactly a departure from style), but this brew is unbalanced.

Sep 13, 2004 Autumn Brew Review 2004. Brownish color with a quickly thinning head. Good malt start... and hot damn, there’s a nice malt taste also. A little sweet and sticky, but not overdone. Maybe some caramel. Not too much going on, just decent.
