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.

2008 bottle. Pours a yellow and orange hue with a small white head. Aroma is primarily of alcohol with a hint of sweet malts. Taste is sweet, alchohol, and spices. A bitterness lingers on your tongue for quite a while after drinking. I was intrigued by the Imperial Oktoberfest style, I must say I appreciated it but only in small quantities. This reminded me of wine in the alcohol and tart flavors.

This stuff is ridiculous. (good) On tap it is so sweet and cloying. Not much of the marzen spices and has some dark rich ripe fruits. Good but only small quantities.

Light copper, amber color, no head or lacing. Fruity winy aroma. Sweet, thick flavor, apple juice winy taste. Alcohol balanced with thick malt. Surprisingly light for anything imperial.

(2008 bottling) Burnt orange colored body. Foamy head which fell in less than a minute. Alcoholic aroma. Significant sweetness in the flavor. Body has a "syrupy" feel to it. Most assuredly one of the most intense examples of an Octoberfest that I’ve ever had.

I figured this was going to be an intense version of a. Oktoberfest, but alas it just didn’t have that great Oktoberfest flavor or pallet. Interesting but not my thing.

Bottle, 22oz, 2006 vintage. An unclear, orange beer with a nice, beige head. Heavy aroma, sweet and malty, with piney hops. Some beefstock too. Really delicious and not very complex. Sweet, malty flavor with beefstock and some alcohol. Fine piney bitterness which smoothens towards the very end. Full-bodied and almost sticky sweet. Lager isn’t the first thought that comes to my mind when drinking this, and it’s probably too much on the sweet side, but I like it. (090327)
