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.

Amber brown and copper in color. Nose of malt, brown sugar, toffee, peanut brittle without the peanuts. Tastes malty, dark sugar, cinnamon, nut meg. Palette decent. Not much hops. Drink this closer to release. This is the previous year’s release. A little metallic on finish.

Bottle. Dark orange in color with a golden head. Big aroma of malts and caramel. Flavor is really damn sweet - malts and caramel. Alcoholic syrup. Dominated by alcohol and sugar. This doesn’t seem like the best representation of a true Oktoberfest beer.

what a great brew, the pour is great rich head on a good balance of hops and a little on the malty side. A little on the sweet side. The ABV is very well hidden on this gem.

Very perfumy aroma. Almost like flowers and citrus. Nice big malty flavor with toffee and spice undertones. Gorgeous brown copper in appearance. Overall a real nice suprise to drink.

2007 bottle poured up into a weizen glass. Beautiful iron color with bubbles racing to the surface. Smells malty, thick, sweet, nice with a little funky stank. The taste is definitely shocking, bready, sweet, thick stuff. The carbonation tells me I must drink slowly! Remember the 2000 election….hard to swallow bitch. This was so damn low on drinkability I could not finish the bottle. Serving type: bottle Reviewed on: 10-05-2007 16:36:02

Bonus beer sampled at the Weyerbacher tasting at Blacklick Wine & Spirits on 8/28/09. Pours clear amber with a medium beige head. Sweet malt and caramel aroma with hints of lager yeast and hops. Caramel and sweet malts hit the tongue first, followed by lager yeast and a slightly boozy finish.

Pours a fading beige head with a copper body. Aromas of butter, alcohol, and floral. Flavor is floral and toffee. Butter and alcohol on the finish.

22 oz bottle served in a tulip glass. Pour copper/caramel color with 1 inch of quickly dissipating white head. Nose is sweet malt, light oranges, and a bit of spice. Taste is the same, yet the spice it more prevalent, especially in the lingering after taste. My first sip was so-so, but with every sip afterwards, I kept enjoying this brew even more!
