Sep 25, 2008 22 oz. bottle from Wine Warehouse. Orange pour with a thin quickly dissipating head. Toasted malt aroma with some caramel notes. Taste is bready malts, cotrus, caramel. A little bit off-kilter. Alcohol hidden fairly well. Full bodied.

Sep 23, 2008 Updated: Oct 20, 2008Bottle @ EBF. Copper with an off white head. Sweet bready malt, caramel (seems to be a theme in Avery beers) and some orangey, floral hops, as in most Avery’s there’s a good lick of alcohol also. Having only had Maharaja and Mephistopheles before the fest I championed Avery beers but now I think I need to visit the source for reassurance.

Sep 22, 2008 Updated: Apr 28, 2009Brewed in the USA, Courtesy of The Captain, thanks Mark. Pours a lite orange color with a foamy white head. Aroma is of sour apples, caramel, and some hops. Taste of sweet spices and the 10.03% alcohol comes through in the finish. This Oktoberfest is a bit different for me but very drinkable. (PROST) ....... Also, The bottle is very cool.

Sep 22, 2008 Well I wanted to rate this as 300 but it gets the 301 spot-so there! Shared with some of the Devonshire boys at death with a K’s. Poured in a glass stein-an orange hazy amber with a great foam head. Pleasant sugary sweet aroma with a fruit sourness. The taste makes your teeth hurt but once it warms up it’s enjoyable. Nice hops sweet malt blend but a little too sweet.

Sep 21, 2008 Presentation: It was poured from a brown 22oz bottle into an imperial pint glass.
Appearance: It has a copper or reddish amber color with a thin and creamy, light tan head. The body has good clarity and some visible carbonation. Its head fades out quickly leaving just a few stray bubbles on top.
Smell: The aroma has a spicy hop presence with lighter malty notes and a hint of grainy alcohol.
Taste/Mouth feel: Its flavor starts with its solid malty backbone that has a dark caramel sweetness. A grainy alcohol pops out and gives the beer some bite and its hop flavor is spicy and a little bit earthy. It finishes slowly with some bitterness from the hops. The palate has a slick heavy texture with mild carbonation.
Notes: The alcohol has a harsh unrefined quality to it, which holds down its drinkability. Overall it is still very interesting.

Sep 21, 2008 22oz bottle shared by The_Captain. Thanks Mark. Pours orangish amber with a good amount of foam. Smell is very sweet, some noble hop spiciness, and sour apple. Taste is very similar, lots of noble hops and very sweet. Interesting but I don’t think I will ever need to drink it again.
