New Glarus Staghorn Octoberfest Beer

Medium clean copper with a small off white head. Fair carbonation. Aroma and flavor is mild sweet malts, caramel, light spice and tart nuttiness. Pretty much a basic Oktoberfest which is not a bad thing. Very solid overall.

Thanks to drewberme for the bonus. Pours a bright coppery amber with an initial foamy head, but fades over time to nothing. Aroma is lightly toasted malts, sweet, herbal and spicy hops with a touch of white wine. Light toasted malts, vienna, and a touch of sharp crystal malt sweetness. Body is a bit on the weakside, but otherwise this is a pretty solid o-fest.

Pours a dark prestine amber. Aroma is of caramel and roasted malts. Taste has a hint of caramel at first, then some bittnerness, and followed by the roasted malts. A bit too rich for me, but still good.

12 oz bottle bought in WI at some liquor store i’ll put in here when i remember or when andrew bms me (whatever comes first) Pours a clear orange read with a white head that quickly fades to a ring. Nose isn’t too much to speak of. Toasted malts, marzen, carmel, and a touch of spice. Marzen carmelled flavors. Nutty and toasted with a finish that slightly bitter cloying and dirty. Hmm, I’m not usually a fan of this style, so hey maybe its me.

12oz, no date--though I know it’s been bottled within the last month. Clear orange with hints of brown with a 1/2 finger off-white head. Aroma of nuts, toasted malts, caramel, and only a hint of floral hops. Flavor was fairly sweet--as most Oktoberfests are--and I couldn’t really pick up on any hops. Lots of caramel in the flavor along with some light toasted nuts and malts. Very low bitterness. Moderate creamy carbonation with a medium body. A very well-made Oktoberfest.

Thanks to Skyview for sharing. Light malt nose. Faint head. Orange color. Pretty standard lightly roasted caramel malt aroma and body. d

A treat. My favorite of this season, or for ANY year’s for that matter. A thick, hearty beer. Pours a rich orangey copper with a creamy light tan head. Steady carbonation, but it doesn’t make it spritzy or light; the thickness still holds up. Laces well. Aromas are a toasted nut lovefest. Enough sweetness to be observed and appreciated without distracting or detracting. FUll malty body. Hops barely temper things out as wanted. Again, full-bodied, creamy, nutty, toasty, malty. Forget the dubbels and Belgians, THIS beer is a meal in a glass.

This is an excellent oktoberfest. Flavor is more complex than most, and I get some wheat in addition to caramel malt and light spices. Dark orange color. Top of its style.
