Sep 20, 2006 Dark orange body with vey thin light tan head. Light scent, mostly of malt. Tasty but not as full flavored as some. Malty (somewhat roasty?) with light hop notes. Light medium body. A good Oktoberfest, but I’ve had better, I’m affraid.

Jan 27, 2006 Thanks to Woody_Obeer for this...
Appears an amber with a small offwhite head and scattered lacing.
Smell is of sourdough overkill with some sweet malt trying hard to come through.
Taste is of the same aromas.
Mouthfeel is slightly weak.
Drinkability is that of a average brew but a below average O-fest...just my opinion.

Jan 26, 2006 12oz bottle shared courtesy of WOODY_OBEER (just so happens that this is also my 1,800th rating on Ratebeer). Poureda medium amber color with a very small sized off white head. Aromas of toffee and bread. Tastes of toffee, bread, and caramel. Thinner body.

Jan 25, 2006 Thanks to WOODY_OBEER. Pours a slightly hazy orange amber with a small white lightly lacing head. Aroma of caramel, light fruits and more hops than I expected although overall a light aroma. Flavor was slight sweet and watery.

Nov 25, 2005 Bottle from Downeast, Portland Maine. Amber coppr body, moderate beig head. Toasty malt aroma is dominated by a surprising amount of alcohol presence. Dry toasty malt and alcohol also dominate the the flavour with a rough lingering aftertaste. Average palate. Not entirely pleasant. Draft sample at the brewers festival seemed better but my palate was shot by that time so I wasn’t taking notes anymore.
