Great Taste of the Midwest
Not very memorable, for some reason I grabbed this on the way back to sit
down. By the time I got there it was gone so my notes are pretty thin.
As a result I have to forego the usual routine. The body was a deep smoky
black with a dirty cocoa head. The flavor was not bad but at the same time
sort of bland. Very drinkable though forgetable, this one was neither
outstanding nor terrible.

Oct 27, 2007 On tap.
Pours a cleard dark copper, almost chestnut hue. Thin but persistent head that leaves nice lacing on the sides. Aroma is dry, crisp, toasty and nutty. Flavor is much the same -- dry, toasty, nutty with hints of fruit esters and light to moderate hop bitterness. This thing tastes for all the world like a nut-brown ale. I can’t detect much of anything that would identify it as a festbier, save maybe the color, and only becaue festbiers come in a wide range of colors. Nice solid palate that coats the entire tongue with every sip yet is not cloying at all. Don’t get me wrong, this is a pleasant and very drinkable beer; I gave it low marks for stylistic reasons only.

Sep 9, 2007 On draught at the brewpub in Hayward, Wisconsin as "Tommy A’s Oktoberfest." Pours a semi-clear dark coppery amber brew with a slow dissolving creamy off-white head that has good lacing. Aroma of caramel malt, a hint of brown sugar and some flowery hops. Taste is semi-sweet, very lightly carbonated with a medium body character. Flavors is very faint with roasted caramel malt, toffee and some roasted nuts. Finish is semi-sweet, a little on the light side with a caramel aftertaste. No bitterness during the finish. An average Oktoberfest.
