Dec 30, 2008 <i>Bottled at Akkurat, Stockholm. </i> Clear copper colour, fair sized head. Light cinnamon aroma. Sweet with plenty of chewy caramelly malt. There’s dough and crystalized sugar, wide and deep in malt character. Finishes with low bitterness. One of the very best malt characters I have come across from Oktoberfest beers from across the pond!

Dec 26, 2006 growler-pours a tan head and copper/red color. Aroma is medium malt-sweet. Taste is medium malt-a bit too sweet/caramel, bitter hops. OK carbonation.

Oct 20, 2006 Tap. Pale amber beer, creamy thin head. Bready and sulphury aroma (not skunky, more minerally). Flavour is lightly caramelly and malty. A bit too prominently sulphurous. Sweet malt seems slightly underattenuated. Some earthy hops. As it warms a bit of spicy hops come forward. Not a great example, but it’s quite distinctive.

Sep 15, 2008 Bottle from the Maestro of Malt, Matt Capone. Pours deep brown with 1-finger off-khaki head. Nose is vinous caramel malt, brown sugary, earthy peaty cobwebby esters. Tastes caramel malty, a bit tart, with dry merloty fruit characteristics, and brown sugary, peaty, and earthy notes. Decent complexity and balance makes thisone a nice marzen, with more earthy notes than many.

Feb 19, 2009 Draft at Lazy Boy. Flavor is pretty malty with only a slight amount of oxidation. Decent cereal flavor and although the hops have faded, it leaves behind a somewhat enjoyable taste.
