Sep 18, 2005 This was very good. Lots of caramel color and flavor. Good hop presences. Finish was great, and there was lots of body in here. Great brew.

Dec 29, 2004 Updated: Jan 1, 2005(22 oz bottle, obtained in trade with Eyedrinkale, thanks Mike!) This is a pretty big, malty, flavorful beer for an Oktoberfest, loaded up with sweet caramel, plus a prominent toastiness. Mild bitterness, most notably in the finish, so this is certainly a malt dominated beer. Unfortunately, the finish is a bit sugary sweet, but its offset by the bitterness that has picked up steam. Moderate alcohol comes out in the flavor as well. Malty nose, caramely and sweet. Dark amber color. Off-white head pours to an average size, slowly fades to a thin layer, and leaves a fair amount of lace in large patches. Not exactly what the Germans had in mind with this style, it’s much more hearty than almost all other beers in this category, but it’s an enjoyable, tasty brew.

Aug 1, 2004 Peachy brown. Nose has loads of caramel, similar caramel maltiness predominates in the flavor. Surprisingly hoppy for an Oktoberfest.

Aug 1, 2004 Hazy orange-brown with a dense off-white head. Caramel, some mustiness. The flavor is malty with a surprising hop kick at the end. The body is medium with the hop kick again being a shock. Medium and farily dry. A real surprise.Yum
