Poured from the bottle an amber color with some reddish hues. Pour creates a tightly bubbled 1/2" off-white head which slowly fades to a thin coating of foam throughout the glass. No lacing noted. Initial aroma was that of caramel malt, toffee, toasted bread and some floral/spicy hops, but with a distracting raw, musty graininess lurking in the background. Mouthfeel was smooth and creamy, but finished a bit thin late on the palate. Flavor profile was an improvement over the aromas. Moderately light notes of caramel, crystal malts, toffee, baked biscuits and herbs are noted. A touch of a metallic twang is unfotunately also noted. Finish is smooth and on the sweet side with just a hint of hops. An OK rendition of the style, but for a regularly available domestic I’ll stick with SA’s.

Nov 30, 2008 I was able to try Brooklyn Oktoberfest on Election night 2008.
The beer is an amber brown color with a light brown head. The aroma is full of sweet fruits with a dry sweet hop.
This was an enjoyable beer for a very unenjoyable night.

Nov 29, 2008 orange color with a nice head that disappears quickly. A little lacing. Malty and carmel, a little lighter in flavor than I expected, but it’s nice.

Nov 26, 2008 12 fl oz bottle. Pours hazy orange to brown with a diminished white head. Fruity and dense malty aroma. Sweet malty and slight spiced to breadish. Vague roasted malty. Sweet caramel and slight breadish lingering into the finish.

Nov 18, 2008 Pours copper with a fluffy white head with a slight peach colored tint. Smell is slightly metallic with some toasty malt shining through. Ultra-grainy taste but not too much bite. Lighter and smoother than many in this style. I’m not usually a fan of this style, but the flavor in this is subdued, so it isn’t that bad. For those who like this style, it would be lacking.
