| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Dec 7, 2004 Amber brown with a small head. Aromas are malty - chocolate cake and quite doughy. Flavours are smoky malts with sweet malts, yeast, peat and more dough. Herbs and spices to finish. An Oct Fest beer with lots of character.

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 1, 2004 Well done. Nice rich malt taste and the hops and yeast go a long way too. Lost a little bit of carbonation near the end but it didn’t detract from the beer. Good, strong, slightly-bitter finish. I’d be content with one or many of these in one night. Also tastes better on tap. barleyandmalt (25), USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 30, 2004 Updated: Mar 12, 2005Does not live up to Oktoberfests on even the American market. Far too much carmel and a maltiness that is reminiscent of malzbier(gag!). Still a decent brew if drank objectively. xray (50), Bloomfield, New Jersey, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Nov 27, 2004 Nice and malty. This is even tastier than Paulaner’s Octoberfest. My favorite Martian. I mean Märzen. footy (334), scottsdale, Arizona, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Nov 26, 2004 Bottled 500ml. Copper/orange with medium rocky head. Vanilla-Orange aroma. Medium bodied but with full flavor. Good malty fullness. Multiple tastings. wnhay (722), Princeton, New Jersey, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 25, 2004 This is the best Oktoberfest I have had to date. It was very nice with the Turkey especially. It had a good rum raisin taste which I really dug. I had it on tap once and didn’t like it. However I was pleased with it today. Good beer. SpringsLicker (2042), Tennessee, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 24, 2004 Deep amber with a clear shiny body under a thick off white head.
Nice aroma of malt set everything up for a good flavor that is just sweet enough and in balance with the hops. One of the better Oktoberfests. The U.S. label is different that the one pictured, it has a checkerboard border. Nice. gsmitty80 (638), Washington DC, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Nov 21, 2004 As my favorite style of beer i was pleased to try this beer recently. It exdceded my expectations for an oktoberfest beer and why not its truly German. I want to get a fresher taste sometime...which is my only withdrawl on a higher rating.
