Bottle. Clear orange copper pour with a medium white head. Very sweet malty aroma. Not very good on the tounge though, not one of the best marzens.

Draft at D’s Six Pax & Dogz. Pours a medium amber, thin, off white head. Aroma is carmel and sweet. Flavor is malty with a touch of carmel notes, maybe some hops, but not much.

Bottle. Pour is a coppery color that is getting on to brownish. Pretty high initial head, but dies down leaving little more than a bubbly film on the surface. Aromas are sweet and grainy: butterscotch and bread dough. Flavor is about the same with a little bit more of a complexity to the sweetness through the addition of honey and sweet date flavors. Still, comes off as thin... with malt presence not providing quite enough umph to finish well.

On tap at the Coney. Cloudy amber with nice beige head. Butterscotch diacytel (sp?) aroma. Semi-sweet with grainy, bready, and rubbery notes. Sulfuric, rotten milk taste. Thin, rubbery, and plastic. Hmm..

On draft. Pours a clear burnt amber color with a 1-finger white head. Strong malt aroma with some caramel and raisins. Taste is very sweet with some fig and caramel. Not really any bitterness to speak of.
