3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Had on draft @ the Gingerman before a tasting, was told it was 8.5%, but that seemed odd .. . has a nice bitterness . . caramel is the main player .. . quite a nice marzen .. . . but now the ties are motionless...
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Tap at Flying Saucer, Sugarl Land.
Pours a beautiful glassy amber with a nose of sweet malt syrup on a piece of toast. Flavor is malty and wet autumn leaves with a seltzer/mineral water finish. Average mouthfeel. Not bad.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
On tap at The Hay Merchant. Pours a clear amber with medium off white head that diminishes quickly. The aroma is a bready malt, caramel, and toast. Medium mouthfeel with a sweet caramel malt and raisin with sweet finish. A good marzen from Karbach.
2.7 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Not my favorite...call me crazy but there's a cigar taste to the beer. Aroma is marginal, appearance consistent with the märzen style beer and adequate mouthfeel. Taste here though lacks depth, and that's driving my overall score.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Tap @ Porch Swing Pub. Clear burnt orange with a bit of white head. Toasted malt, biscuit, caramel, finishes lightly bittersweet. Very drinkable.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
On tap at Sugar Land Saucer. Clear brownish-amber with an off-white head. Toasty, nutty, sweetish caramel aroma and rich malty taste with what seems to be a relatively high abv for the style. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Pretty good marzen.
