Sep 23, 2007 Thanks to William for bringing a growler of this back for the BJCP training session. Clear light orange, head comes up quick, but has zero retention. Light toasty malt aroma. Toasty flavors, a very faint roast note, and a malty, dry finish. Not rich. Not exciting, but not bad.

Sep 16, 2006 From notes 10/14/04:
This Oktoberfest pours a clean clear burnt orange color with a foamy light tan head. Lacing was sparse and random. The beer gave a delicious nutty caramel scent that just whetted the appetite. Nice. Maltiness is ever-present in this scent, that’s for sure. Flavors have a solid malt backbone. More caramel and nut to accompany the graininess. Not quite "chewy" in the mouthfeel, but the aftertaste mimics a big beer. Caramel sweetness abounds and lingers. Hallertau hops give some spice to it. Drinkable as can be. A worthy seasonal offering from the folks in Fayetteville.

Oct 23, 2005 Sampled at Asheville Brewgrass 2005. Copper, with a beige head. Nice toffee and caramel aroma. Tas is malty smooth, with he same notes of caramel and toffee, but also a hint of cardboard. Gently sweet finish.
