tsarman (794), Northern, New Jersey, USA Nov 5, 2007 Dark color for a oktoberfest. Brown with yellowish foam. Smoky flavor. Tasted some bitterness. Maybe its been a while, but this does not feel like an oktoberfest. A decent beer, but not really of the style I was expecting. More like a old fashioned ale.
f351c4v (207), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 2, 2008 Cask @ Camp Hill. Pours a clear orange-brown color with a nice tan head. Malty aroma, bready malt body. Average. webjedi (247), Silver Spring, Maryland, USA May 18, 2008 (abbreviated review, due to short notes) Very buttery and slightly nutty on the mouth. A little vinegary. jjpm74 (2953), Connecticut, USA May 4, 2008 Bottle courtesy of illinismitty. Pours reddish copper with a thin white head. Smells vegetal with some tea hints. Tastes lightly tarte with a cherry like finish. illinismitty (1421), Nashville, Tennessee, USA Apr 23, 2008 Bottle from Frugal McDugal in Nashville, TN. Pours deep amber with a light beige head. Aroma of sweet malts, bread, and roasted malts. Medium bodied and slightly thin texture wise. Flavor of caramel, toasted grains, berries, and some slight brown sugar. Bitterness is a bit muted on this one, but there is enough to keep it from getting off balance. Finish is sweet and slightly spicy, a slight lingering stickiness. Not too bad. I would prefer a bit more hops if I had it my way. cbkschubert (1573), Skyline, Arizona, USA Feb 4, 2008 12 oz. bottle via trade with jasonmech77 - Pours a deep copper color with a one finger thick light tan head. Very light spotty lacing. Aroma is sweet toasted malt and spice. Flavor is toasted malt and light spice. Light to medium body. A decent beer. Thanks Jason.
