Oct 6, 2005 Lots of diacetyl, damp wood, overly sweet. This was cloying, and too thick and syrupy feeling. Based on the ratings, maybe it was a bad bottle, but I didn’t care for this.

Oct 6, 2005 Pours from the bottle an orangish-amber with a foam white one finger head that settles down into thick lacing. Medium carbonation, a few bubbles, but not overly fizzy. I smell bready malts & hints of toffee/vanilla. Malts and hops work together nicely in the flavor department. They tend to complement each other rather than trying to overpower each other. Nice medium mouthfeel, just a lingering bitterness on the swallow. Very well done!!!

Oct 5, 2005 Nice old-world German style Oktoberfest brew, a bit of hoppy-ness, but balanced well with other flavors

does not count  Oct 4, 2005 Clean finish! A little dry in the mouth compared to other fine Marzens.
Malty beer yet not as big flavored as the others...sweet though. A nice drinking beer
You can taste the smooth water from the alps

Oct 3, 2005 Bottled - St Albans BF - A deep bronze coloured beer. The aroma is typical Marzen with sweet malts although it is a little thin. The taste is clean, malty and fruity. Very easy to drink and well brewed although not wholly satisfying.

Oct 3, 2005 Bottle, St Albans Beer Festival 2005. Red/russet with beige head. Some good caramel, barley sugar aromas which carry on into the body of this beer. Quite drinkable. Bit too sweet but good spice/dry hop finish. Hop nose is quite subtle

Oct 2, 2005 Orangy amber with a sight white head, this brew has a pleasing bready/grain aroma. Malty throughout, but not heavy, its 5.8% alchohol content is well masked in the fine balance. Hop character is present but subdued.

Thick rocky white head, deep copor color. High maltiness, with hops only becoming prevalent mid bottle. Nice malty finish.
