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.

Draft. Brilliant copper. Light khaki head. Pretty beer. Intense fruity aroma but on the acidic side of things. Sweet tomatos and a little bit of green viney edge. Some bubblegum as well. Hop bitternes at first in the mouth. Very IPA-like or american strong aleish. As it warms it takes on some fruity belgian qualities and then finishes very dry. Slight plastic lager edge. This is a well crafted beer.

Bomber - Pours a clear reddish amber in color with almost no head... little carbonation. Aroma is is quite malty (caramel, brown sugar), fruity (apples?) and flowery hops. Flavor is also quite sweet (a bit more than I like) with a nicely balanced hop bitterness, particularly at the end. Alcohol, not surprisingly, is more apparent than necessary, but I like its brain-numbing effects (drink this one SLOW). Not very true to an Oktoberfest-style beer, but a very good beer none-the-less. Well worth seeking out again.

Nice heady pour. Deep fruits on the nose with a good shot of caramel sugary maltyness. Pretty quenching and good bouncy mouthfeel. Lightly spiced, while sweet, beer and balanced well. A good, sturdy example of the style and one whose drinkability belies its strength.

2007 bomber. Not sure why anyone is complaining. Probably one of if not the best Oktoberfest I have had. I absolutely loved it. Very malty, spicy, butty, alcohol interwoven but not overpowering. I need to go find a few more bottles of this stuff.

From a bomber this poured a clear amber to orange color with a fat long lasting off-white head and very sticky lacing. Nose of floral hops. Mouthfeel is almost sticky. Flavor is of ripe fruit and the finish is malty and shows the alcohol. It is a little hard to get the last few sips down.
