DavidP (1719), Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA Dec 11, 2004 My sample was bottled, purchaed in October from the Woodmans in Madison. Slightly hazy dark orage-brown body, hardly any head. Diesel-oily malts and pumpkin pie in the aroma. The flavor and palate both suck, there’s a biting astringency in the start of the flavor (along with the usual marzen malts) and some dry cardboard to round out the finish. This stuff makes me appreciate the New Glarus Staghorn I recently had even more!
tomxcs (315), Golden, Colorado, USA Dec 3, 2004 The best beer I’ve tasted from Adler Brau. Unlike most of their other beers, this has flavor and body with some decent amounts of spices. A little lacking in the hops, IMO. TheDean (784), MIlwaukee, Wisconsin, USA Sep 28, 2002 Fall has to be my favorite time of year for beers. Oktoberfest bears are by far the best seasonal beer there is, and this beer is no exception. Pjones6738 (500), Madison, Wisconsin, USA Sep 28, 2002 Dark beer, with your typical oktoberfest blend of spices. Not at all bitter, like I’d expected. Another very good beer from this tiny brewery.
