BMan1113VR (2757), Los Angeles (and Dallas), Texas, USA Sep 13, 2008 Pours with a bronze body and a thickish light brown, creamy head. Aroma of toasted malts, chestnuts, and caramel. Taste is caramel, a bit nutty with some astringency in the finish. Water like mouthfeel, moderate levels of carbonation. maniac4016 (114), bill clinton, Iceland Sep 13, 2008 nose of malts, flavor very clean with nice clean finish, nicely balanced. tastes like an oktoberfest beer rcweir (119), Massachusetts, USA Sep 13, 2008 Crystal clear chestnut colored, with quickly receding head and moderate carbonation. Malty and spicy aroma , long dry, malty finish. Nicely balanced. Linnet (107), , Sweden Sep 13, 2008 deep copper collour, small off white head. Aroma of caramel, and toffee, and maybe some dark fruit and honey.
flavour is sweet honeylike with some biterness at the end, but the dominating feature is the sweetness. a very drrinkable but not overly exciting beer. DWestrick (235), Ft Wayne, Indiana, USA Sep 12, 2008 bottle. pretty solid beer. amber lager with pretty good flavor for a macro. definitely a beer you could drink all night because it’s so smooth Bella68 (38), Alabama, USA Sep 12, 2008 On tap at The Riviera in Dothan. Everyone freaked when I ordered it..."dark beer, gross". Of course, they’re just used to drinking bud light. Color was a nice deep amber, if you will. Smelled lightly of caramel, not at all over powering. Nice. Very thin head. Think I will by some of this! blklab2007 (938), Connecticut, USA Sep 11, 2008 bottle poured a medium light amber with a thin off white head that fell quickly. carbonation is steady and the aroma has sweet caramel apple malt, barley, grains, light spices, and a touch of honey like sweetness. mouth feel is medium light. flavor has a nice balance of sweetness and malts. touches of pilsner pop in perhaps from the german hops, light bitterness, and spice touches. nice fall time brew and very fresh. ericandersnavy (1039), crossroads, Texas, USA Sep 11, 2008 bottle from swalden 28. poured a dark gold/amber with an orangish hue and a thin beige head. aroma was caramel and some floral notes in it. flavor had a little spice followed by some bitter. this seemed to leave an empty spot on my tongue, it was weird. i expected it to be a bit more robust with flavor, but nonetheless a solid octoberfest.
