Power Plant Munich Ale

tap at Augusta bottoms beerfest alongside vyvvy. This was brewed with ale yeast, so its not a true marzen, but has alot of the character associated with it. The beer dispensed burnt amber in appearance with a soapy rocky off-white head. nose is toasty, bready, with some earthy notes as well. light fruit tones come out a little as well. very bready flavors from all the malts and the ale yeast may have something to do with this as well. 8%? where? this could go as a good malty asa in my mind, but nonetheless, a tasty treat.

Sampled at Augusta Bottoms Beer Festival 2006. According to the brewer at the festival this is an Octoberfest brewed with an ale yeast and clocks in at 8%. Pours dark hazy orange with a thick off-white head. The aroma is soft earthiness and fruit - hints of brett. Velvety smooth body with soft carbonation. The flavor starts off with the flavors from the aroma with a solid malt base. Teh finish has spicy hops and bits of caramel malt. I’m not sure I pick up the Octoberfest characteristics, but this is still a fine unique beer. Nicely done.
