This seasonal beer is made in very short supply, so if you like it--I suggest you load up when it becomes available in mid September! This is my favorite Bouelvard beer, and one of my favorites overall. It’s got a strong punch right off the bat, and by the time you’re figuring out whether or not you either "like" or "really like" the beer, you look down to see your pint glass empty! Exceptional drinkability and the high alcohol percentage is ceratinly felt, but never tasted. After 3 of these beers, you’ll be converted; with each one surprisingly better than the last. Great, great Fall/Winter beer.

Oct 11, 2008 Pours a honey copper color with a tiny off white head. NOse is nutty, caramel, and brown sugar. Taste is sweet and matly with a nice syrupy mouthfeel. Highly quaffable.

Oct 8, 2008 Pours clear and crisp copper with a thin eggshell head that fades fast and leaves no lacing. Aroma is caramel and grainy malts and very slight sweet floral hops. Flavor is caramel malts, sweet, whole grain cereal, lemon citrus hops. Berries, bitter hops and copper in the finish. Body is medium with a slight stickyness and pretty dry toward the finish.

Oct 8, 2008 Curious. On my bottle’s label, under "Bob’s ’47" it clearly reads "Oktoberfest," unlike the picture on the beer’s page. Mayhaps this is his 47 & a half? Still, it does come across more as a Vienna. The body’s a bright copper/orange with a short-lived slender white head. The aroma is caramel with a touch of orchard fruit. Same with the flavor. A very light earthy bitterness comes in near the finish. Okay, but Bob deserves better.

Oct 7, 2008 12oz from thickfreakness, first beer to go with the debate all others to prepare for it. Tivoed it. I know its been over for a while now. Pours orange with a thin tan head. Nose consists of sweet malts and light caramel. Taste is sweet malty and overall a good vienna.

Oct 7, 2008 The pour was clear amber with a compact white head and minimal spots of lacing. The aroma was sweet malts, light citrus and plenty of floral hops. The flavor was light caramel and citrus that were trampled by perfumy, floral notes. Like drinking potpourri water towards the end. Thin, sometimes metallic mouthfeel. Meh.
