| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Oct 17, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours a reddish/amber color, kind of a cola color. Very little head, dissipates quickly. Aroma is malty, with molasses, caramel perhaps. Flavor is also malty, with molasses, perhaps some creamy chocolate as well. Some thickness in the palate. Overall it’s good for an Oktoberfest, a fun, drinkable beer. dmtroyer (409), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 17, 2008 12oz bottle. Pours a fairly dark amber with an off-white head. Aromas of grain and malt, makes me think of a feed sack. Body follows with pretty serious malt flavor, a bit of caramel. Medium carbonation that tends to soft. This is a pretty heavy duty oktoberfest. CaryTheDude (1113), Longmont, Colorado, USA
| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 1/5 | 10/20 | Oct 15, 2008 Looks very nice. Very drinkable and smooth. But pretty boring otherwise. popephred (193), Plainfield, Illinois, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Oct 15, 2008 Poured from the bottle into a pint glass. Pour produced a red-brown body topped by a small, quickly diminishing head of foam. Nose is slightly sweet with notes of spice and molasses. Flavor is on the sweet side with notes of burnt caramel.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Oct 14, 2008 Attractive deep ruddy brown pour with no head. The nose and flavor are subtly sweet with some roasted malt and caramel. Very dry finish. mwelsh13 (483), Maryland, USA

Wheat aroma with some clove. Slightly sour, with wood, walnut, and caramel. Almost chewy but not thick. Slight hop bitterness with a dryness at the swallow. DougShoemaker (2856), Toronto, Canada

On tap @ The Abbot on the Hill.
Aroma of nicely toasted malt,a light fruitiness, like freshly peeled apple skins, copper, small cream head, pretty lace.
Taste is lovely roasted malt, caramel, flavour of pitfruits, woody, nutty notes too. Medium bodied, beautiful balance, wonderful mouthfeel. Splendid, an absolutely fine example. Ein Prosit! Kudos to The Abbot, first in Canada with this on tap! scoth (274), Fort Collins, Colorado, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Oct 11, 2008 12 oz Bottle. Pours clear amber with a medium beige head, good lacing. Fruity and malty aroma, of figs, raisins and caramel. Light, crisp body. Delicious malt flavor, fruity and sweet, but well balanced, with subtle pine, almost vegetable noble hop finish and slight aftertaste. Very refreshing and drinkable.
