amishcaravan (237), Winona, Minnesota, USA Aug 15, 2008 pours a deep amber color with a thin lasting head. not a very strong aroma, but there is some burnt roast and some hops. taste is of bitter hops and some caramel. finish is mostly smooth with a little bit of bitterness in the end that sits on the back of your tongue. Overall, not a bad beer and one that I would drink again. johntreeter (121), Greenwood, Indiana, USA Aug 15, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours a clear deep orange copper color with little head and and no lacing (it may be soap residue in the glass). Malty aroma with hints of caramel and spice. Flavor is in line with the aroma with a little bitterness in the finish to balance the sweetness. A little watery on the palate. Nice marzen that remids me that pretty soon I won’t have to cut the damn grass for a while. NomDeBeer (399), Maryland, USA Aug 11, 2008 Rich copper color that looks very good, but it’s down hill from there. Predominant flavor is chewy cardboard and stale malt with caramel in the background. I can barely finish this one really, but in all fairness, Oktoberfest beers are not my cup of tea in gerneral. RevZombie666 (14), Washington, Washington DC, USA Aug 7, 2008 This is one of my favorite beers of all time. I may start hording it to drink it throughout the year. It is a great complement to cold fall and winter nights. leemaxx (2), , Oklahoma, USA does not count Aug 5, 2008 deep amber brown color with lots of light bubbles. aroma is of toasty malt, and the head is delicate. it’s a good fall lager, nice and malty with a little bit of bitterness in the finish. i like this one; it’s nice and mild. jkwalking05 (1483), Arlington, Texas, USA Jul 26, 2008 Orange-copper color with a small off-white head. Aromas of carmel and spices. Flavors are malty with a very fake tasting spicy "funk". Highly carbonated. cb23 (97), St. louis, Missouri, USA Jul 25, 2008 Bottle. One of Sam Adams best beers! Doesn’t have the same skunky tastes as most SA’s do. Refreshing brew from this company. Block (363), West Lafayette, Indiana, USA Jul 5, 2008 Great color and head. Fresh aroma with a deeper taste, perfect for when the weather begins to cool down.
