Commercial Description:
Brewed using the time honored methods and an extra slow lager to release the smooth flavor of our roasted malts. Over 1,100 lbs. Of malted barley in every handcrafted batch! Expect this bier to pour with a rich head of foam that will enhance its incredible spice bouquet. Staghorn Octoberfest combines a smooth amber body with a clean crisp finish.

Bottled. Reddish amber. The crystal malt flavour is dominating the beer. Chewy mouthfeel. Pleasant, but one-dimensional. I've never really accepted octoberfest beers made with crystal malt, but this one is pretty good.

12oz bottle. Poured a medium and slightly hazy copper color with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of toasted malts, burnt, caramel, and some nuts. Tastes of caramel, toasted nuts, and lightly bready. Tastes started out nice but had a weak and thin finish.

Very sweet and smooth. Bright copper colored with a small head. A very drinkable and good Oktoberfest.

Pours copper with a thin white head. Smells of sweet malt, some nutty hints, toasty. Tastes of sweet malt with a decent peppery splash on the finish.

Amber beer with a thin white head. The aroma is loaded with soft maltiness. Lightly swet and toasty with a bit of Munich malt sweetness. Excelent cleanliness with a crisp fresh breadiness. Softly sweet and a little toasty. A touch of light herbal character. Sweet and balanced and fairly toasty. Nice brew.

A huge creamy head tops the pale orange/copper body. The aroma has clean toasted malt with a touch of caramel sweetness. Nice lively carbonation. It has a lightly toasted bread flavor with some malty sweetness and a very light earthy bitterness to balance it out. Pretty decent.

Dark amber color with a thick light tan head. Very malty aroma. Flavors that follow. This one has improved over the years, but still seems to lack the toasty flavors I enjoy in an oktoberfest.
