Nov 20, 2008 Sweet and syrupy. Big sugary malt backbone with super sweet caramel notes. Small spice and very alkaline. Ugh.

Nov 2, 2008 Roasted malty sweetness, some hops, decent depth. A little dry, nothing special.

Oct 30, 2008 Pours an ultra clear amber brown with a diminishing small white head. Aroma is medium sweet, nutty, light fruit and light floral. Flavor is much stronger than the aroma, nutty and sweet with adequate bitterness. Medium bodied, slick texture. Long carmelly sweet finish.

Oct 29, 2008 12oz. bottle served in a pilsner glass. Poured a reddish amber with a thin off white head. Pretty good aroma of caramel malt with some noble hops. Medium to light bodied. Malt sweetness, not terribly complex. Some noble hops in the finish. Smooth and easy drinking. I’m usually not a fan of American Oktoberfests, but this one is pretty good.

Oct 27, 2008 12oz bottle. Poured copper. Head was tan and fluffy. Moderate lacing on glass. Aroma bread, and malts. Flavor was extremely malty, roasty, sweet in the end with bread notes mixed in. I also picked up caramel all the way through. Slightly bitter/yeasty by the end of the bottle. Kind of astringent. Taste the alcohol. It mixed with the sweetness. Medium Mouthfeel. Light carbonation.

Oct 27, 2008 Amber/copper in color with spotty lacing and nice looking tan cap. Pleasing aroma of sugary malt, bread, and noble hops. Medium bodied and exceptionally creamy. Very smooth, I would love to throw back a handful of these during an Oktoberfest Festival. Flavor is very malty. Sweet and sugary with a nice toasted nutty taste. Minor notes of floral noble hops and dark fruits. So far the best Oktoberfest of this season, I am very impressed by the effort put into crafting this one.

Oct 26, 2008 Bottle, on recommendation from Rob at Goebel’s in Wichita.
Pours a beautiful mahogany with a pleasant aroma of autumn spices- cinammon, pumpkin, and a dash of nutmeg. Flavor is a continuation of the aroma but with an emphasis on roasted nuts. Still, hints of pumpkin and nutmeg are in the background, with cinammon lagging behind. Nice mouthfeel; very pleasant along the palate. A touch of fallen leaves leaves (ha, that sounds funny) a slight trail along the back of the tongue. Probably the best Oktoberfest I’ve had, or at least that I can remember right now. Hope this makes it to Houston.
