Jan 2, 2009 The amber bodied beer was amply carbonated, and readily formed a durable three finger thick, head. The smell was sweet and malty with slight hints of cooked corn. The taste was driven by honey dipped bread sweetness of the malt with some counter taste by spicy hops. The body was thicker than typical for the style and aftertaste had a touch of sourness. One of the better festbiers I’ve had.

Jan 1, 2009 Bottle from Stan at Lone Hill. Color and aroma are decent, but flavor is super average. Not quite red, just grainy with minimal malt. Refreshing because its so thin, which is the only attribute.

Dec 24, 2008 This is a fantastic Oktoberfest. Smooth with a little bit of body and it goes down great. Sweet caramel and balanced hop tones make the finish great just like the rest of the beer.

Dec 15, 2008 Dark amber color with a nice fizziness. Flavor is full of malt and caramel. Definitely my favorite so far in this style.

Dec 8, 2008 Sampled on 12/8/2008. The marzen pours a medium amber color from a 12oz bottle. Small to medium sized white foamy head. The aroma is caramel, fruity and sweet. A medium bodied marzen. The malts are fruity, caramel and sweet. The hops are earthy and slightly spicy. Lively carbonation. Kind of a nice marzen, it is spicy and malty without being too sweet. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.

Nov 29, 2008 Pours a sparkling clear, orangey-amber color with an average, pillowy, off-white which settles to a very small froth and leaves no lace. Nose is simple with rich caramel and light toasted grain notes. Flavor is a bit better with toasted grains, biscuits, rich caramel, and a balance of noble hops, a tinge of spice. Palate is light to medium, lively, and crisp, solid for an Ofest. Finishes somewhat quickly, sweet with caramel but balanced by a faintly spicy noble hop presence. A very drinkable Ofest with no real great qualities but solid example of the "fest."

Nov 26, 2008 Poured from a 12 oz bottle this beer pours a nice orangish color with a nice white head that linger for a bit and left some nice lacing. Aroma presented some nice caramel malt, fruit and spices. Taste followed through with malts, caramel and a little toasted bread as well. A nice fall beer by Victory.
