Jan 17, 2007 This is a 2006 bottle, 22 oz. it actually says 9.3% abv on the bottle, despite the above commercial description touting a 9.1% abv. the beer pours a beautiful deep reddish amber, with a creamy, frothy off-white head. smells sweetly of malts. it tastes excellent. tremendously sweet tasting, with tons of malty goodness and an excellent mixture of hops adding to its rich, spicy flavor. very easy to drink; smooth and creamy. highly recommended.

Jan 16, 2007 Clear, deep amber color with white head. Rich malt with toffee notes. Toffe carries into the flavor with more hoppiness than would be expected in a regular Octoberfest. Full bodied and pleasant, but not your typical ’fest beer.

Jan 15, 2007 Bottle that Springslicker brought to the Nashville Tasting. Pour amber with a small white head. Aroma was not as expected, it was more funky like a bier de garde.Lke many Avery high ABVbeers, this was sweet and syrupy. So much that it overpowers the german characteristics.

Jan 13, 2007 Amber colour wiht a small white head, this beer has small floral aroma with tastes of caramel and hops. The alcohol is noticeable, but given the ABV, it is well-balanced and easy to drink.

Pours a clear reddish copper, topped by an inch or so of cream colored foam. Okay head retention and lacing. Sweet malt and some fruit in the aroma.
Caramelly beer, very sweet up front, loaded with caramel and dark honey. A raisiny yeast frutiness accompanies that. The hops provide good balance to a sweetish beer, with a light but lasting bitterness in the finish and aftertaste.
Full body, smooth and gently carbonated.

Jan 3, 2007 I did not think i would like this. I’m not a fan of Oktoberfest styles... but this changed my mind. Nice malty aroma, great sweetness and overall fantastic balance. A bit like an american ale more than a marzen to me. Solid beer.

Jan 2, 2007 The color is incredibly nice, red amber and the head is huge and creamy. The aroma is malty with notes of caramel. The flavour is sweet, very sweet, but not sticky and it has a nice counterweight in a dry citrus-bitter finish. The flavour has notes of caramel and aroma hops. 1721
