| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Oct 21, 2007 Sampled this one on draught at the Capitol City Carnival 2007. Pours to a deep amber color, with a thick, creamy, white head, and a good carbonation. The nose is excellent, with lots of good toasty and nutty malt aromas. The palate is firm, and clean, with good nutty and toasty malt flavor, on a round, clean, body. This beer finishes with more good toast and nuts up front, then ends with just the right amount of herbal hop bitterness to balance out the great malt flavors of this beer. Well done, local example of marzen. Well worth trying if you ever find yourself in Richmond during Oktoberfest season. argo0 (7025), Washington DC, USA
