| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Dec 11, 2009 Had this back at the Oktoberfest in CLT, but I’m rating it from a bottle now. A little bit sweet and heavy for me. Flavor was certainly there, but it was kind of stuffy, and didn’t have the smooth crispness that makes me love this style (formerly my arch nemesis style). douglas88 (1648), Salt Lake City, Utah, USA

12oz bottle. Purchased @ Brusin’ Ales.
Deep copper color. Medium tan colored (in the appearance of sea foam) head. Aroma has loads of toasted malt, a good bit of toffee, toasted bread, earth, and a touch of spice. Flavor is full bodied, rich malt. Smooth and mellow. Soft and creamy. Very nice Vienna Malt. A bit of biscuit in the finish along with a touch of spice and earthy hop. Perfectly balanced. I could drink this beer all Autumn long!

A bit earthy. Meh- festbiers just aren’t my thing.
