Oct 1, 2008 Deep rusted copper with a nice initial 2 finger head, settles down to some lace at the bottom and coats the glass uniformly...a sweet candied fermented fruits dominate the flavor profile with a slight tin tinge on the end... the body is kind of thin... there is something on the finish that is kind of weird and indescribable.

Oct 1, 2008 12 oz bottle into shaker. Great clear amber pour with some honey brown notes and a good looking large lasting lacing light brown head. Aroma is faint, almost non existent (though it is pretty cold right now) - light nutty malt aroma and not much else. Flavor is actually pretty full - nice and nutty with a bit of dough character. It is medium bodied on the palate - smooth too. Overall: good fall brew, better than expected,and one of the most flavorful octoberfests I have had (I haven’t had that many though, but this brew makes the style intriguing to me). Way better than I expected.

Oct 1, 2008 This was sweet, smooth and full of fall like spices. It poured a nice orange with a small but decent head. It was not exactly light bodied but it wasn’t full either. It’s a bit nutty and sweet with a nice bitter balance. A decent Oktober but not in the upper crust by any means.

Oct 1, 2008 I really liked this one. The thing that got me was the aftertaste, which was wonderfully spicy. There was very little carbonation, but it was easy to drink. Overall, its a great beer.

Oct 1, 2008 Poured a dark orange, amber color with an inch or two of khaki colored head. The taste is smooth, mouthfeel is creamy, and the finish contains just a hint of hops which are nicely offset by the honey and spice flavored malts. A tad thin and under carbonated, but very drinkable. A great beer to bring in the fall.

Sep 30, 2008 Orange amber pour with a couple fingers of just off white head. A cool swirling carbonation in the Sam Adams New Glass. Sweet amber and red malts but slightly metallic. Great taste only a little on the thin side. Sweet honeyed malts, no hops, this one is better pretty warm, harsher when cold and I wish the finish lingered longer.

Sep 30, 2008 12 oz. bottle served in shaker- poured non transparent darkened copper, medium carbonation, creamy off tan head formed and lasted for a few minutes. Aroma of caramel, toffee, and malt. Hits the mouth with a medium body, malt is highly delectable, caramel notes in the middle, finish trails with a note of allspice. Let autumn begin!
