2.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Part of the tasting platter @ the brewpub. Clear medium amber, medium off white head leaves light lace. Sweet caramel and tea aroma. Simple caramel flavour, marzipan, light tannic bitterness. Just okay.
2.1 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Bottled in Columbia Falls, MT. Clear nut brown, small head. Light strawberry and car,amel aroma. Sweet with clean mouthfeel and medium body. Sloppy caramel flavour, low bitterness. With it’s hard barren malt character and simplistic caramel flavour it’s dull and falls pretty much as far from an okotberfest as is possible.

Sample at brewery. Clear amber, thin beige head. Aroma of floral hops and caramel. Taste is also more hop dominated than expected, mostly floral, good caramel balance. Not like most Marzens I’ve had.

Darker amber pour with nice sized tan head. Roasted, nutty nose. Flavor is caramel with a touch of fruit and some toasted malt. Nice texturee, never would expect it to be that high in alcohol.

Draft pint at the brewery taproom. Wow, this is dark, a deep reddish amber. At 6.7%, the rich maltiness dominates this brew and it’s deliciously flavorful, if not exactly fitting a classical O-fest style basis ... Quite yummy. (#2854, 5/12/2007)
