Samuel Adams Octoberfest

12oz bottle: pours dark amber with slow fading white head, aroma of some pale malt and special malts and that typical lager smell to it, flavor the special malts come through pretty strong some caramel and rosted malt along with some other specal malt that i cant put my finger on, pretty decent beer.

Sampled at the NY Brewfest on 9/12. Not able to give a very accurate rating due to the sheer number of brews sampled. Was decent, lighter bodied than expected.

On draft, Rich amber color with a foamy head that lives up to its description, malt flavor with spicy finish, overall decent Octoberfest and worthy of a try, another good beer from Boston Beer Company

12oz. Bottle. Aroma grassy and caramel and toffee. Pours a nice amber with a foamy head. Flavor is a sweet malty tone just muted by the hop character. Nice and easy on the palate, smooth and just enough flavor to remind you that you are in fact having a beer. Overall, another solid offering.

Bottle: A great example of an oktoberfest. Nice malty flavor. Very enjoyable

Attractive amber color and sizeable tan head. Inviting malty aroma. Character is malty with sweet caramel and spices. Some bitterness but doesn’t finish very well. Drank it on the first day of Autumn; quite memorable.

Good dark appearance, nice mix of spices. Flavor is good and has a smooth finish for a slightly heavier beer.

Heavy malt taste (duh!) with a nice dark appearance. Had many sweet flavors to compliment the maltyness. A little heavy but not really something to complain about. I really wouldn’t say this is much different than a lot of the other octoberfest beers i’ve tried, but then again I’m not complaining.
