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.

beautiful copper color, creamy head, complex candy flavor, reminds me of horehound candy. It tastes as much like a liqueur as a beer. with its richness

Could not find much on the nose but caramel malt. Pours dark amber with a light head. Medium bodied with hints of caramel, toffee, light nuttiness, malty sweet but strong alcohol. Sweet finish. I was lucky enough to try this from tank during a brewery tour. Great Beer!

bomber. pours a very attractive copper/amber shade. the cream colored head stands about 3/4 of an inch tall. big sweet nose is reminiscent of traditional barleywines. a very clean aroma that must be from the lagering. figs and raisins also appear. starts with the flavors of sweet grains and golden raisins. a considerable amount of alcohol stands out on an otherwise clean finish. smooth palate, crisp, concise finish and grainy aftertaste are hall marks of lagering. this too sweet and too boozy for my taste.

22oz bottle, 2006 Vintage. Dark amber, copper color, tan head. Heavy malt aroma, caramel, and golden raisins. WOW! Deep, heavy malt flavors. Sweet toasted caramel malts. Medium bodied. Heavy hitter. Finishes like a Belgian Strong Ale.
