| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | May 6, 2009 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. gunnfryd (3568), Kristiansand, Norway

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 20, 2009 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. sigma23 (217), , Maine, USA

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Apr 8, 2009 (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. mattcoats (40), Norman, Oklahoma, USA
| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/20 | Apr 5, 2009 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. yngwie (4918), Kristiansand, Norway
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 31, 2009 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)
