The Kaiser once said, "Give me a woman who loves beer and I will conquer the world." If the Kaiser and his significant other had tipped this bottle, we'd all be "sprechenden Deutsch!" We took all that is good in a traditional Oktoberfest - gorgeous, deep copper sheen, massive malty backbone and spicy, floral, pungent noble hops - then intensified each into this, an Imperial Oktoberfest.

Pours an amber color with a tin off white head. Pretty dark for a lager. Aroma is malt, and brown sugar, caramel and a little toffee. Had to steel myself for a big malt bomb on the flavor and this one didn’t disappoint. Not cloyingly sweet, but definitely a huge malty beer. Interesting.

Malt definitely comes through in the aroma. Flavor is like simply a sweet malt heavy lager, with some alcohol warmness.

Bottle. Amber bpdy with a medium off white head. Aroma has barley and lots of malty notes. The hops is profound. Heavy malty flavour with fruity and hoppy notes. Creamy body.

Pours light amber with a small white head. Lighter color than I expected. Malty sweet nose. Tastes of malt and citrus. Not your traditional Oktoberfest. Good flavor but a little too sweet for me.

Bottle. Toffee-caramel color. Cider like, sugary, hoppy. Sweet and notably pumpkin-y, if that can be a ord. Candy, apple, and toffee notes present too. Enjoyed a residual malty sweetness on the tongue. The high and increasingly higher ABV is evident from the start on roof of mouth. Aromatic and nice full body. In your face kind of beer; there’s no kiesch eaters drinking this.

Source: 22 oz bottle purchased at Beverage World in Rossville, GA.

Aroma: Bread and yeast, with spices. Earthy hops.
Flavor: Honey and sweet malts, with a bread and spice finish.
Palate: Full bodied with solid carbonation and a chewy mouthfeel.
Overall: Really dig the imperial oktoberfest beers. Give me more!

Bottle from City Beer in SF. Almost unfair that this is called an Oktoberfest given the gravity and flavor. Pours orange with an orangish head. Aroma of malt, grain, and grassy hops. Flavor is more of the same, sweet malt and nice German hops on the finish. Fairly full body for the style, but it is 10%, so I’m not surprised.
