Sep 22, 2004 Off tan head on an orangish red body. Earthy, toasty aroma with a light noble hop quality. Flavors are heavy on teh toasty side, without much malt sweetness till the finish. Touch of hop bitterness mixes with carbonation for a crisp finish. Tastes kinda like how you would guess it would taste from looking at the label, if there was a small brush fire going somewhere in the background or on one of the barns.

Sep 21, 2004 On tap. Poured a dark amber with a tan head. Malty aroma and tastes. Thin body. Light hops. Nothing really stood out.

Sep 18, 2004 Deep orange, decent head. Sweet caramel with a faint note of toast. Flavor has a bit of orange pekoe tea (I find this in a lot of Okt’s, don’t know why), a slightly vegetal hop note, and sweet caramel finish. Just a touch thin. Sampled 3 Oktoberfests over the course of this evening, and although none knocked me over, this was probably the most satisfying.

Sep 12, 2004 Deep amber with a light, white head. Aroma is malty with slight candy. Nice carbonation and a perfume quality to the hops. Bitterness nearing that of a brown ale. A slight tainty sourness suggest it may have been an old bottle. Overall, not bad.

Sep 12, 2004 Spicy, malty flavor. A tad thin, but not bad. Bitter in the aftertaste. Overall easy to drink, but not exceedingly impressive.

Sep 11, 2004 12 oz. brown, longneck bottle. No freshness date seen, but it’s the 2004 batch, knowing the store where I got it from. Poured out a brilliantly clear bright copper color, with a sticky white head. The head left a generous lacing down the sides of the glass. Aromas are of fresh Munich and Vienna malts, slight burnt sugar, some yeastiness and earthy hops. The hops are subdued in aromas, but strong and earthy in flavors. They provide a balancing factor to the sweet malts. It is a very well balanced beer, with nothing in particular rising above any other ingredient. Slight tastes of alcohol on the backend of this beer give it a definite kick. Stronger than most Octoberfests I’ve had, that much is certain. Thick mouthfeel is almost chewy from all the malts in it. Finishes very balanced and warming. Makes you want to say "Wunderbar."
