Dec 25, 2008 Bottle and so far the best of the Oktoberfests I have had this year. Nice rich amber pour. White head. Sweet malty aroma with some notes of fruit and caramel. Flavor hits you with an initial sweetness and then fades to a well balanced bitterness. Malt bill is nice. well balanced and very drinkable.

Nov 20, 2008 Heavy notes of malt syrup complimented by hops in this red brown pour. It has a nice even hop flavor with just the right amount of bitterness. The finish is a little metallic though.

Oct 24, 2008 (Bottle from McKean and Charles) Pours darkish coppery amber with two fingers of off white head. Aroma of vanilla and caramel. Mouthfeel is fairly smooth but a touch pebbly. Medium heft. Flavor of light caramel and perhaps a touch of vanilla. Light bitter bite in finish. Frankly kind of bland but a decent beer.
