Draft at Fell’s Point. Poured amber color with no head. Aroma has hints of cinnamon and nutmeg. It’s quite malty with Toffee and Caramel, but that’s quickly overpowered by the spices. Nothing outstanding.

Dark honey and cinnamon nose over a dried leaves base. Clear rust, medium yellow head. Earthy with cinnamon accents. Well balanced and enjoyable. Thinnish mouthfeel.

Not to bad, I really like spiced beers so I knew going in that I would like this one, though not the best I’ve had, still decent.

Draft. Pours reddish brown with thin off-white head; poor retention and minimal lacing. Aroma is plums, caramel, spice, and light roast. Flavor is cookie and caramel malt primarily; faint hops and some spicy undertones throughout. Medium body and carbonation with low warmth.

4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
Draft @ Bel Air location. Had a nice dark red color, smelled very earthy, lots of spices and pumpkin. Taste was also very earthy. Great taste, very nice surprise with this one!
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours a brownish copper with amber notes and a small off white head. Aroma and flavor reminded me of basically a punkin pie spiced munich dunkel. Solid dunkel with appropriate spicing balance.

12 oz draft served in a pint glass. Pour is rusty, tarnished metal with almost no head or lacing. Nose is cinnamon and nutmeg on top of a dopplebock. Taste is right on par with a wet, candy caramel finish. This one is all malt and I really enjoyed it; this brew is definitely worthy of a sixtle!
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours a brown color with a small off white head. Smells of veggies, bit of brown sugar and a pumpkin. Taste is very earthy. I taste roots, plants, veggies, and a pumpkin! Pretty veggy like. I like.

Surprise surprise I like another octoberfest beer. I like how just about all oktoberfest beers have similar non offensive starts, neutral smells a solid appearance and an amazing aftertaste. I walked in expecting pumpkins and am disappointed that this has no extra halloween spirit. That said, upon further analysis it was not advertised with pumpkins so I cannot in good conscious deduct for this oversight.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
On tap at Bowie location. Weird for this to be on tap in middle of July. Pours clear light brown. Aromas of toffee, caramel malts, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Flavors are muted. Wonder if this is just an old keg. Tasted toffee, caramel, medium malt base and some holiday spices. Decent.
