Has a sweet flavor to it, with a smallish head and a lot of carbonation. Not bad, but not a favorite of mine. HighlanderOne (546), Somewherein, New Jersey, USA

It’s like a hop/fried brussel sprout aroma, almost a skunky smell. Once I got over that I was impressed. It poured to a nice dark amber with a velvety head. The taste is hoppier than most Oktoberfests, which I enjoyed. It felt great and finished nicely. I think I’ll buy more. austinpowers (2828), New York, New York, USA

I would drink this again, though it wouldn’t be high on my list. grymy (105), Bel Air, Maryland, USA

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Oct 8, 2002 This deep amber colored beer had little head or lace. the aroma was slightly bitter and hoppy. the flavor was slightly sweet and well balanced. Rockinout (946), Kent, Ohio, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Oct 7, 2002 Fresh, powdery nose, thick, creamy head around the edges. Has a sweet buttery-nut- toffee taste. PhillyBeer2112 (2089), Orange Park, Florida, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Oct 7, 2002 2002 update: Amber color, small head. Rich toffeeish aroma and round toffeeish malt sweetness. Dry somewhat sharp and acidic finish. Strangely light mouthfeel and no lingering maltiness.
New for 2001: Malty with hints at nutty caramel and toffee. Not as rich as some but overall pretty good.------2000: I’m with Gusler - one of Pete’s
best offerings. Malty sweet
but medium bodied (not heavy or
cloying), and clean. Straightforward,
yes, but quite enjoyable. Nice dark
amber color.
