Draft at the brewpub. Pours amber with a thin head. The aroma is malty sweet. The flavor has caramel, nuts, and butterscotch. Not bad.

Draft... Mostly clear amber lager with a small, creamy, white head. The aroma offers cool-weather notes of roasted nuts and caramel. Medium-bodied with fizzy carbonation. Nicely balanced. Caramelly with good roastiness - also, a little tangy. Short, crisp, clean finish

Poured an amber color with a white head. Aroma was pretty bland but sweet. Flavor was malty and a bit fruity but still nothingf impressive by any means

Tap at Barcade. The darkest marzen I’ve ever seen. Very dark brown, chocolate-coloured pint topped by a thick off-white head. The aroma is quite rich and sweet. Toasted malt, lightly herbal/spicy maltiness. Lots of cola/root beer like flavour with an assertive toasted rye component. It’s almost kvass-like. Warming brings up more herbal components and a touch of roasted chicory. This isn’t a marzen by any stretch of the imagination, but it’s a tasty brew nonetheless.

Draft at D’s Six Pax & Dogz. Pours a medium amber, thin, off white head. Aroma is carmel and sweet. Flavor is malty with a touch of carmel notes, maybe some hops, but not much.

Bottle. Pour is a coppery color that is getting on to brownish. Pretty high initial head, but dies down leaving little more than a bubbly film on the surface. Aromas are sweet and grainy: butterscotch and bread dough. Flavor is about the same with a little bit more of a complexity to the sweetness through the addition of honey and sweet date flavors. Still, comes off as thin... with malt presence not providing quite enough umph to finish well.

On tap at the Coney. Cloudy amber with nice beige head. Butterscotch diacytel (sp?) aroma. Semi-sweet with grainy, bready, and rubbery notes. Sulfuric, rotten milk taste. Thin, rubbery, and plastic. Hmm..
