Aug 20, 2007 Had this in bottle at a German restaurant in Victoria. Didn’t realize I hadn’t given it the RB treatment. Very good beer. Bright dark amber colour is bang-on. The aroma and flavour are clean and well-defined earthiness and caramel. There’s a touch of toastiness as well. Full body. The finish is excellent sweet caramel and I love the way the earthy hops sneak in there as well. The bit in the commercial description about "rich textured palate and underlying sweetness" is very apt. This is really, really good marzen. Now the question - if I can find it at a restaurant in Victoria, why not any bottle shop in BC?

Sep 2, 2002 Medium amber body. Head pours big but doesn’t last long. Caramel malty aroma. Caramel malty taste supplemented with mild hoppiness. Nothing special about this one, celebrate Oktoberfest with something else.

Oct 7, 2002 Malty, soapy aroma. Sweetish, malty, bit herbal taste with lots of fruit (prune). A bit sticky, but clean and a nice fruity finish.

Nov 2, 2002 Malty with a slight sweetness. A good German Bier. Re-Rate: Very smooth and well-balanced. Good light brown/copper hue. One of the best German Oktoberfest beers there is.
