Sep 5, 2008 Updated: Sep 6, 2008Pours Amber with an eggshell colored head. A malty, spicey aroma. Very sweet, caramelly, spicey flavor with banana bread, butterscotch and honey. At first, it borders on cloying, but as you drink the sweetness becomes almost unbearable. Surprisingly, there is little alcohol present in the taste, but you can feel its there. Mouthfeel is full. At best, an interesting take on an Oktoberfest.

Pours a very nice looking amber orange with off-white head. Nice aroma of malt, spice, and alcohol. Flavor of caramel, spice, and alcohol. Full Body, heavy mouthfeel, med-high carb. Overall, this was an ok beer, Just doesn’t hit me as an Octoberfest that I enjoy, but it was tasty.

Aug 26, 2008 660ml bottle (Pikkulintu, Helsinki) 2006 bottle, shared by JK54B - thanks!
Slightly hazy orange, tiny tight head. Sweet malty aroma, a bit bready or cakey. A bit of alcohol, and some big estery peaks. Soft palate, pleasant carbonation. Slightly gluey taste, but pretty well balanced between the malty body and the pleasant hoppiness. Those hops hang around in the finish, and taste pretty raw then.
