COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Dogtoberfest is a unique beer containing five premium malts. This lager draws its influence from the Vienna Marzen or Oktoberfest style. It is rich and malty with a sweet aroma and deep mahogany color.

A bit of spice, otherwise it has a decent bready maltiness. Not bad, the spice wasn’t as bad some other Oktoberfests.

Clear amber pour, 2 fingers of frothy head. Bready aroma, caramel. Taste - Dark bread, some fruit, German hops, caramel - A bit bolder than the aroma but still a bit less than what I was expecting. Lighter mouthfeel than I would like in an O-fest beer. I like this brewery and this beer is OK, but I wish they went for something bolder.

Padilha (66) - BRAZIL - FEB 4, 2012
Cerveja avermelhada enferrujada, sabor bem lupulado e agradável, formando pouco creme. O aroma é um pouco danificado, meio cáustico. Mas no geral é mais uma bela cerveja da Flying Dog, que nesta breja utitiliza o máximo de artefatos alemães, assim como o idealizador da cerveja.

keanex (208) - Williamstown, New Jersey, USA - DEC 23, 2011
Poured from a bottle into a pint glass.

A: Almost clear copper with a 1.5 finger light tan foam head that dissipates into a nice thick lacing and coating.

S: Slight hops and bread but mostly malts with caramel hints.

T: Strong malt and caramel hints with an underlying hops taste. Slight spices, though I can’t put my finger on it.

M: Low-medium carbonation, almost full bodied rather thick.

O: Decent beer, but not very complex a tad too thick for this style for my liking.

MadIndian (1763) - Levittown, Pennsylvania, USA - DEC 15, 2011
As far as Marzen goes, this was ok, pretty solid. It had a nice spice bite of ginger and cinnamin. A yeasty caramel malt finish. Slightly peppery. Good.

Bottle from Shawan Liquors. Pours brown with a slight grassy smell. A bit of caramel malt on the tongue. Finishes clean. Middle 50% for style.
