Lakefront Art Kumbaleks Focktoberfest

Brewed by Lakefront Brewery
Style: Oktoberfest/Märzen
Milwaukee, Wisconsin USA

Thanks to KingpinIPA for this cool bonus. Nice orange-amber coloring with a medium white head. Aroma is a pleasant mix of roasted grains and cereal, with some nutty & light fruit scents detectable. Flavor is rich and grainy, like a really good and hearty breakfast cereal. Nice nutty flavors as well, with a nice hop helping that sets it apart from most in the style. Smooth and really tasty. Really good Oktoberfest.

Bottle (12oz). Clar deep amber with a decent tan creamy/rocky lasting head. Smells like fresh rye bread and roasted nuts over a solid sweet cereal malt body. The taste has both a fresh rye grain and iron/peat tang, with some hrbal hops emerging as it warms - very chewy and solid, soft astringency and mineral character in the finish, nicely carbonated - not too "big" but very roasty and refreshing. Pints of this would be welcomed.

12oz bottle acquired in trade with ughsmash (thanks!). Poured a deep and clear orangish color with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of toffee, roast, nutty and earthy. Tastes of were more on the subtle side with caramel, toffee, toasted nuts, and some citrus. Body on the thinner side.

Thanks to hopdog for sharing. Pours a translucent copper amber with a medium creamy off white bubbly smaller size head. Aroma of sweet malty grains, some caramel, nuts, herbal and lightly earthy. Flavor of sweet malts, slight fruitiness, some hop bitterness and flavor

Slightly lightened amber body, clear, with a frothy light tan head. Slightly grainy malt aroma. Slight german hops. First taste is a rindy german hop concoction with a sweet marzen malt. A little hint of butter with the rindy malt. Like a lot of Lakefront stuff, a bit too fizzy. Pretty good overall though. I’ve heard this is the Riverwest Stein... I think its close, but not the same; especially with the hop thing going on.

Light copper color with a slight haze and a good sized, pillowy head. Malty caramel and brown sugar aroma with a nice hop character. Full malty flavor with a nicely balanced herbal,piney bitterness. Medium bodied and nicely carbonated with a long hop finish. Nice to see a winner like this from Lakefront, now if they’ll just start selling it in six packs..

Got some caramel malt and some maple in the aroma.Pours a medium copper with a medium off white head.Lots of malt in the flavor.Thin to medium mouthfeel with a smooth malt finish.

Pours a transparent copper amber with a wispy-lacing, frothy off-white head. Aroma of sweet earthy, toasty caramel and Munich malt and a nice noble hop character. Body starts fairly full and sweet with good authenticity and balance. Quite drinkable and flavorful. This might be one of the best American-made examples of the style that I’ve had.
