Dec 26, 2006 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.

Dec 25, 2006 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.

Dec 24, 2006 (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

Dec 11, 2006 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.

Dec 10, 2006 Pours clear and orangish amber with a mostly receding tan head. Aroma of is surprisingly mild for this high of ABV, some notes of toasted malt, caramel, and mild estery breadiness. Taste is caramel fruity, with apparent heaviness, but remains light and transitory due to the restrained esters. Mouthfeel is full bodied and with lively carbonation. Excellent attenuation, I was hoping this wouldn’t be a sticky mess, and it was ’digestable’ enough. An impressive brew from Avery!
