azlondon (622), Fribourg, Switzerland Jun 29, 2009 Appearance: Swing-top bottle, medium brown. Good amount of off-white head.
Aroma: Malt and some fruit. Slightly metallic.
Taste: Lots of malt, nice hops. Some caramel. Nothing special.
Info: 500ml bottle, 29/6-2009 ben4321 (562), Rockville, Maryland, USA May 12, 2009 Location: 12 oz bottle I believe I purchased it at Norm’s fall ’08
Overall Impression:
Pretty standard fest beer, enjoyed it. I like a good German fest beer, don’t get me wrong, but they are all basically around the same score wise, not a style with a huge variance. Not a bad score range, just not special beers.
Rustyham (335), miami, Florida, USA Apr 11, 2009 The Darkest Oktoberfest I have yet to drink, this guy has no smell and the flavor is a wonderful full-bodies malty excursion. You could imagine that you just ate a mouthful of wheatgerm or the like when gulping this. Really good. $6.50 a pint at The Abbey Miami Beach imdownthepub (4731), Banbury, Oxfordshire, England Apr 8, 2009 Bottled, swing top, 500ml from Westholme Stores, Goring on Thames, Oxon. Copper with white head. I really quite enjoyed this marzen, fruity full bodied, soft and pulpy in character, some caramel without getting dry, a little sweetish, but not much in the way of hops. Quite reasonable. jbuzz (638), South Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA Apr 2, 2009 Pretty basic marzen. Medium body with average carbonation and no very outstanding flavors. smith4498 (709), Miami, Florida, USA Mar 23, 2009 Draft @ Abbey Brewing Company. Pours clear copper color with of white ehad. Caramel malt aroma. Caramel flavor with a slight hoppiness and nuttiness. Medium body with average carbonation. auderale (572), Fairchild AFB, Washington, USA Mar 1, 2009 Bottle: Amber colored pour with medium sized head. Nutty, malty, caramel nose. Malty, spicy, toffee caramel taste. jkwalking05 (1190), Arlington, Texas, USA Jan 30, 2009 Amber orange color with an all right head. Malty aroma and taste with nutty and caramel notes. Pretty true to style. Not bad but not great.
