Aug 24, 2008 12 ounce bottle in pint glass. Hazy caramel color with flat head. Mild sweet yeasty caramel aroma. Sweet mildy toasty caramel flavor with giveaway ale fruitiness and sweet finish. Medium body and carbo. Not sure what the purpose of another inferior Oktoberfest knockoff is. But what they hey, it’s not bad. When I picked it up I though it might be an autumn fresh hop beer, but I figured out before I bought it that it was a psuedo-Oktoberfest by a non-lagering micro. Eh, I tried it anyway. But, really, why? I mean there are for too few porters out there. Why not do that instead?

Aug 21, 2008 12oz bottle. Pours a deep reddish-amber, white fluffy head. Aroma is a flowery hop on top of a bready, toffee malt. Clean toasten munich malt smell. Flavor is a sweey caramel, toffee, toasted grains. Very full flavored. Easy to sit back and enjoy the fresh taste of Märzen bier. Overall, the color throws you off for style. The taste on the other hand... spot on. Delicious! Prost!

Deep amber/copper. Tan head that quickly faded with faint lacing. Tart grassy hops are present but restrained. Sourdough, carmel, slight spice. Well done overall. It was on discount so it must be a lot better in october.

Apr 29, 2008 Bottled. Poured clear reddish-brown with a tall-ish cap of well-retained beige head. The aroma picked up brown sugar and nutmeg-laden toasty caramel malts with a dusting of leafy hoppage.. smelled quite nice. The flavor had more of that older caramel at the core with brown sugar and mild spicage.. light floral and leafy bitterness surrounded.. drier, prickly herbal notes on the finish. Medium-bodied and a bit sharp at times on the palate.. this was tasty, but I’d like to see how it is fresh.

Mar 21, 2008 (Bottle 35,5 cl) Courtesy of MaltOMeal. Hazy, deep amber golden with an off-white head. Very intense, sweet malt aroma. Medium body with a very, very solid malt, a whiff of flowers and a little caramel. Subdued bitterness but some alcohol is shining through in the finish. 210308
