Oct 18, 2006 bottle. clear dark copper pour with beautiful tan head. nice lacing. big floral, malty aroma with some oak, alochol and sugars.
nice caramel malts, fresh hops, spice and toasty. a little thin in the body, touch syrupy and sugars are too dominant even as it warms. mild alcohol warming.
Good but one of my least favorite of Avery’s big beers.

Oct 18, 2006 Lots of sweet, bready, doughy, rich, and delicious malt. Hops play backup in this one. Pretty good, if you like a rich, malty beer.

Oct 18, 2006 holy maltyness. this beer poured a deep brown with a tan head. aromas of caramel, sweet bread and nuts. very thick mouthfeel, almost syrupy. malt, malt and more malt flavor, not much hop presence til the finish. i think i’ll stick to regular strength.

Oct 16, 2006 Sampled at the Fall Crawl 2006 (our camping trip) Pours a medium amber with a medium head. Aroma and flavor was a nice malt with mild spices. A very good beer from Avery.

Oct 14, 2006 Dark amber orange color. Aroma is a dusty malt, alcohol, and bready. RIch bready taste, a nice spicy hop presence, alcohol is noticable. Syrupy and sticky. I’m a fan of the Oktobersfest beers. A fun beer to try if your not afraid of a Marzen on steroids.

Oct 12, 2006 Bottle. Amber, foamy golden head. Sirupy and caramelly, a tad milk chocolate aroma, citric hops. Big chewy fruity body, sweet caramel, candy - Aromatic hops, dry bitter finish. Medium body, light sticky mouthfeel, Sweet caramelly, light roasted and citric aftertaste. Has left the realm of Märzens long ago, but that was the point of course.

Oct 12, 2006 Trade with footbalm, thanks Eric. Beautiful orange color. Very thick and syrupy. It seemed as if the carbonation bubbles were having trouble making it to the top of the glass. Nice white head. Huge sweet malty taste with alcohol finish. The taste was fine at the begining but started to bother me towards the end,almost like it was too rich and malty.
