Snoro (223), Montréal, Quebec, Canada Jan 9, 2007 Bière de belle apparence, mais avec un goût acre beaucoup trop prononcé à mon goût et un arrière-goût autant prononcé. Glouglouburp (2778), Montreal, Quebec, Canada Oct 30, 2006 almost clear dark-copper body with a little off-white head. Roasted malt, crunchy cookies, caramel/butterscotch. Very short finish. Not offensive at all but not much to praise either. The last time I had this was during my pre-ratebeer time. With the coming out of the new 2006 version I wanted to do little taste test so I hunt down the old version. I managed to find an old 2005 bottle on a dusty shelve between a “George W. Bush: 4 More Years” banner and an “Ashlee Simpson: I Am Me” album. radiomgb (1921), Peterborough, Ontario, Canada Jul 7, 2006 Bottle from the <a

Deep ruby in colour, slowly dissipating off-white head, some lace. The aroma is of rich caramel malts, biscuts and some butterscotch. The flavour is malty (cookies, biscuts), some grains and a bit buttery. Mildly bitter mouthfeel, light body, medium carbonation. Finishes slightly sweet, lingering. HogTownHarry (3922), Toronto (Harbourfront), Ontario, Canada Mar 25, 2006 Bottle (341ml). Via trade with Iguenard. Poured slightly hazy amber with a decent foamy diminishing head.Aroma of light roast malt, sweet grain - okay, mostly malt, not vegetal. Taste is quite metallic - lightly malty, corny grain, harsh quick finish - extremely watery mouthfeel, dry, not much carbonation - just fair, seriously lacks body. unibrouefan (124), Gatineau, Quebec, Canada Feb 14, 2006 Strong wheat aroma, really spicy taste and palate. Malt flavor. First oktoberfest beer, and not the last one. rsans (125), Pont-Rouge, Quebec, Canada Feb 1, 2006 Bottle. Amber-brown color with a tan head that disappears quickly. Good lacing. Strong carbonation. Aroma of sweet malt. and a rather thin body. Flavours of roasted malt, toffee and or caramel. Very enjoyable. barleyPops (1079), Quad-Cities, Illinois, USA Nov 4, 2005 12 oz. bottle from richlikebeer. deep amber color with an off white head. sweet caramel aroma and flavors of caramel, a hint of butterscotch and some hops. a nice, mild and easy to drink marzen, thanks rich daboskabouter (1470), Fergus, Ontario, Canada Aug 22, 2005 Nice rusty copper colour with very little head. A very sweet malty aroma with a hint of caramel and fruit - candyish and uninviting. The body starts with some tin and moves into an excessively sweet middle that dries up with a light bitterness. Finished lightly sweet and thin.
