Apr 20, 2007 2006 bottle. Slightly hazy copper, cap of butter-color foam. Tons of melanoidan aroma--very exaggerated bread. Rounded out with toffee and rummy fruit cake. A rich full aroma. Toasted caramel flavor, a fair amount of alcohol heat, but in the same general direction as the flavor. I liked this. Like Samiclaus, except good. It feels like an idea carried to it’s logical end, without getting stupid and undrinkable. I enjoyed the ride once, though I can’t say this would be a regular pick. I think the beauty of a true Marzen is subtly, and this is not that.

Apr 14, 2007 Pleasant, fruity aroma of apple juice. Alcohol is apparent, there is not enough flavor to mask it. This is OK - though I am not usually much of a fan of German styles

Apr 5, 2007 I am the Kaiser! Seriously, I am. Slight cloudy amber with good head. Slight honey aroma. Lots of sweet malt tatse. A bit of honey and lots of caramel sweetness with some hops to top it off. This is what it is....a beefed up marzen that doesn’t really fit the style anymore. Good, but just too sweet for me.

Apr 2, 2007 2006 bottle. Pink golden color, frothy head. Lychee and peach in the aroma. Malty very fruity flavor (lychee, mandarin, mango, peach). Medium bodied, even a bit creamy. Hint of hops, next to the fruit, in the aftertaste.

Mar 21, 2007 22 oz Bomber-pours an off amber color w/a moderate off white head. Kind of cloudy w/a floral hop aroma. Very smooth drinking, kind of sweet w/a rock candy/cane sugar tint to it. Traces of raisens, caramel, toffee & spices. Had a nice, bitter malt backbone which provided a rich, long, full finish. Quite enjoyable.
