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.

’09 bomber again. Just as great this time. Now I can purchase up the road, ahh. Yeah, so, a very solid, warming, Oktoberfest... then someone tells you the a.b.v., WTF!? Are you fucking kidding me? Still a very nice Euro-Strong Lager w/ added Fall complexities. Clean Yeah. ’06 22oz. A tremendously large lager! , has a strong yet deep/complex malt backbone. The alcohol begins at its moderate level, but gets much more noticable when warmer... def. takes on a barley wine feel. agro0’s description works perfectly, well said. This is a good beer, and could be a great: a.) cheaper bomber, but hey!... b.) available in SOUTH CAROLINA : (

Pours a clear copper with a nice fluffy head. Interesting peppery aroma. Light alcohol to it as well, with some caramel, bread, and dried fruit, but mostly pepper. Tastes very bready, with some toffee, caramel, and a light roast flavor to it. Finishes toasty, with some peppey hops to it and more bread in the aftertaste. A little bit hot, but it wasn’t too bad. Despite the imperial moniker, this beer remained easily drinkable. Malt flavors remained true to the O-fest flavor, which was nice.

A nice beer -- definitely full and aromatic at 9.1%, but I found it to be a bit too sweet. Sugary malts that tend to dominate oktobfests made in America anyway were definitely here in full numbers. Not terribly soft-spoken, but an interesting take on a style that is consistently aborted by american brewers.

(Bottle 65 cl) Clear amber golden with a creamy, off-white head. Fat aroma of caramel malt and aroma hops. Very full-bodied - looks thick as oil when poured. Extremely solid and full malt base with almost sherry-like notes. The alcohol gets quite prominent in the finish. But lovely indeed. 221206

Bottle. Malty, good hop profile. Much better complexity than I was expecting from and Oktoberfest. Balanced, smooth. Nice beer.

A hazy dark orange with a slightly orange head. Flaavor is pleasing and smooth taste of both malt and hops.

Pours an amber gold with a blonde head that is frothy and pillowy. The aroma is nutty, caramel, sour fruit, that has a crisp nose, and is tart in nature. The taste starts heavy on the palate syrup consistancy that has a caramel sweetness on the palate. The alcohal is warming and smooth followed by a toasted nut, charachter througout. The finish is again sweet with a nice hop bite that rounds out this delicious brew.
