kevin62 (254), New Jersey, USA Sep 13, 2008 Had this on draft.Poure a dark amber color with a small head.Aromas were of roasted malt,and caramel.The taste was also of caramel,malt and brown sugar.This is a true classic example of the Marzen style.
nqualls (575), Tennessee, USA Dec 1, 2008 Bottle. Poured a clear copper color with a small white head. Aroma of caramel. Flavor was caramel malt with a citrusy finish. Ceebs25 (79), Iowa City, Iowa, USA Dec 1, 2008 .5 L bottle. Aroma of grain and caramel malt, mild fruitiness, and some citrus lemon. A very large, fizzing, tan cream head on the pour that entirely dissipates rather quickly, good amount of carbonation, pumpkin orange in color. A similar malt presence to that in the aroma, but the hop backing gives this a beer a semi-off grassy-weedy flavor that I don’t especially enjoy, though the finish isn’t as bad with a sticky lemon-citrus coming through. Was hoping for better, but I suppose I’ll live to drink another beer, another day. Aquilo (182), California, USA Nov 30, 2008 Copper color with a thick head. Smells like carbon dioxide. Tastes like carbonated water with some malt. It’s palatable, I guess, but ultimately this is a waste of malt and hops. ScoWRee (228), Phila, Pennsylvania, USA Nov 27, 2008 Pours a cooper color with a thick tan foamy head.. Aroma of Oak, Malt and Hops. Taste is a little watery. Nut much going on here. hellbilly (940), scottsdale über alles, Arizona, USA Nov 20, 2008 on tap @ papago... pours a dark woody bronze-ish copper. clear with a slight white head. the aroma is not faint... it just doesn’t have much going on. caramel ( and lots of it), grain and earthy spice are about it. the palate is quite caramel-y and sweet while the flavor falls into the ’not much else’ catagory... maybe some light earthy yeast and a spiced finish. prickly carbonation. thick mouth feel but only because of the sugars. sweet and sticky... not refreshing or satisfying.
