Really a nice wellbalanced oktoberbeer in an american way, but it keeps the german soul inside.

Nov 21, 2006 Bottle (650ml - bottled 2004). Shared with biegaman, blankboy and mds - my bottle. Deep copper pour, small off-white head. Boozy, bready aroma of roast caramel malt, thick yeast and bitter herbal hops - nice. Very bitter taste - syrupy grainy malt, herbal hops, longish finish - sweet and fruity, more like a barleywine. Pretty thick body, only mildly carbonated, nice grainy toasted malt aftertaste - a little "big", but nice - held up well.

Nov 21, 2006 Clear almost orange amber with a huge foamy head that leaves lots of lacing in the glass.
More malts in the aroma than I expected - reminds me a bit of a wiener actually. Very good oily mouthfeel, sweet malty flavour with a nice bit of fruits and some funky hops.
Didn’t really seem like an oktoberfest to me, but this is way nicer.

Nov 17, 2006 Updated: Oct 2, 2007Pours a nice clear, caramel color. Not much of a head at all. Nose is a bit bubble-gummy (my second bubble gum beer tonight) with banana in the background. Sweet malty, lightly hopped body. Malt turns a bit fruity with nice finish that tastes much like banana bread. Nice.

Nov 12, 2006 Updated: May 8, 2008(Daft at Barcade) Very cloudy orange copper body with a small white head. Malty on the nose but the malty taste was not what I expected from an Oktoberfest. Very sweet with lots of toasted barley malts and some alcohol. Like some kind of cross between an Oktoberfest and a light barley wine. Hops make a surprising but appreciated appearance at the very end. Very good, brings something new to this usually rather restricted style. When you’re a german emperor you don’t follow the rules, you make them.
