Nov 2, 2007 12 oz.
Nice looking copper coloured beer, with a small tan head, leaves nice lacing.
Quite good malt driven aromas, caramel, slightly hopped.
Nice semi-bitter malts mostly, get almost creamy near the end, then a qyuick finish with an after taste of hops.
Ok on the palte, could be a wee bit thicker.
Overall not a bad little beer.

Sep 28, 2007 I like that this is a bit darker and thicker than traditional marzen. It’s also got a strong hops presence. Almost like a holiday brew to honest, but I like it.

Aug 30, 2007 Pours a clear amber color with an off-white head. Aroma is of sweet malts, caramel, toasted malts, and some spices. Flavor is mostly toasted and caramel malts. A little unbalanced. Not much hop character and has a strange aftertaste. The more I drink the more I don’t like it.

Aug 20, 2007 12oz bottle acquired in trade with shigadeyo (thanks!). Poured a medium orangish color with a light haze and a smaller sized head. Aromas of caramel, toasted nuts, and a little bready. Weaker tastes of toasted malts and caramel. Thinner body. Boring.

Aug 20, 2007 A little too sweet and syrupy. No other flavors to offset the caramel malt sweetness. Surprisingly, it is not watery. Easily drinkable and mildly carbonated.
