Sep 28, 2008 On draft at the Asgaard in Cambridge, MA. I think this one suffered from poor handling and poor storage. Nice deep amber/brown color. Head was a bit thin. Had some funk in the aroma - again probably not the fault of the good folks at Spaten. Some roasty and sweet malty flavors, but it was a little bit out of balance. Made me want to hop on a plane to Munich and have the real thing!

Sep 27, 2008 Updated: Sep 29, 2008A good Märzen. Very clear dark amber color. Bready toasted malt/hop flavor with caramel and just a hint of licorice and honey in the back. Pleasantly bitter hoppy palate.

Sep 27, 2008 Pours a clear, semi-dark amber, with a nice big head. Aroma is light (wheat) but fresh. Flavor balanced, with a bit of hops and spice, but is mainly bread and yeast. Palate is slick and medium bodied, but finishes far too dry for my tastes. A good, highly drinkable Marzen.

Sep 25, 2008 A decent brew on tap. Not much to the aroma, some roasted malts. Pour is amber with a thin white head. Flavor is interesting of coriander, roasted malts and hops. Palate is rather boring, smooth but lacks anything else to it.

Sep 25, 2008 Pours medium brown with nice thick head. Great aroma earthiness, barley, and hops. Taste matches the aroma with rich grains and malt. Where’s a big stein of this stuff on tap when you need it?
