Oct 11, 2005 Bright brick orange colour. The aroma is earthy, caramelly with hints of toffee. Very flavourful malt character - smokey, toffeeish and earthy, with some spicy hop in there as well. Vibrant, lively example leans towards rusticity over cleanliness, but for me that’s a good thing in this style. It fits so well with wet leaves and wood fireplaces and that makes it a great beer for October.

Oct 10, 2005 Pours a deep copper amber with a large-bubbled, frothy off-white head. Aroma has some sweet grainy vienna maltiness and an authentic noble hoppy balance. Starts with some mild sweet caramel malt turning more dry and bitter toward a sticky, sugary bittersweet finish. This could use some more balance and smoother taste, but otherwise a decent oktoberfest.

Oct 14, 2009 Bottle… Pours crystal clear and burnt-orange with a small, creamy, off-white head. Good retention. The nose is malty and vinous with notes of caramel, brown sugar and crusted port. Medium-bodied with a creamy mouthfeel and stinging carbonation. Malty, caramely flavor – leans only a dab toward the sweet side of balance. Crisp, fairly clean, lightly minerally finish.

May 24, 2005 Yes, I really am rating an Octoberfest in May. Pours brown with a small head. Smells of caramel and toffee. Taste is of nuts with a nice slightly bitter hoppy finish. Great mouthfeel. An excellent Oktoberfest.

Nov 1, 2009 Tap at Rattle N Hum. Deep amber pour. The nose is lightly sweet and a little bit musty. There is a lot of caramel malt sweetness and a distinct toffeeish aroma that forbodes something sweet. Lots of diacetyl and malt. Bleh… way too sweet and chewy to even be called Oktoberfest.

May 18, 2006 Thanks to jjpm74 for this one. The pour was copper and turbid, with 2-finger head. Aroma of corn flakes, heavy fruity hops, cabernet, cherries, blackberries. The taste was very caramel malty with some cabernet, almonds, figs, and a medium palate. Well done.
