Jan 30, 2008 Had this on tap and in bottles. Pours a deep clear amber color. Medium off white head which settles to a small ring of foam. Smooth malt flavor with caramel and malt grains. Some hops bitter taste but a great finish. A Sam Adams 1st choice seasonal for me.

Jan 30, 2008 Pretty amber color with a medium offwhite disappearing head. Weak but malty aroma. Taste is caramelly and sweet with very light hoppy bitterness in the aftertaste. This is a pretty good octoberfest.

Jan 23, 2008 I love this style, and this one doesn’t disappoint. Well balanced, despite the fact that it is more malt than hops. Smooth as butter and carbonated just right. I always look forward to this coming out in the fall.

Jan 17, 2008 Another one of those beers that got me into good beer. However, no longer a favorite in the Ok/Marzen style. Toffee flavor comes through very good. Still a good offering. When it’s available, I usually have a few on hand.

Jan 17, 2008 12 oz. bottle pours a clear amber hue with very little head. Has a slight malty, yeasty caramel smell. A mild caramel malt sweetness swishes across the palate. Medium bodied. Finishes with a pleasantly bitter, subtle hop bite. Smooth mouthfeel and easy drinking, not bad.

Jan 9, 2008 another decent, not great offering from the sam adams label. reddish amber with a frothy off white head. malty with a load of flavors that change as the beer warms from the initial pour

Jan 5, 2008 Amber-red color. Off-white head that lingers for a pretty long time. Malty, spicy aroma. Very tasty, I noticed malts immediately but could also taste caramel and a slight bitterness. Finishes nice and smooth for all the flavor and the medium body. Good fall beer, I prefer the bottle over the draft, which taste a little flat.

Jan 4, 2008 (Bottle) Reddish amber colour with frothy beige head. Malty nose with dried fruit, apricots, caramel, toffee, honey and a hint of chocolate. Slightly toasty. Malty taste with caramel, dried apricots and toffee. Slightly roasted, sweetish with a spicy, but not very bitter, finish. Leaning in the vienna direction but with the malt sweetness of the märzen. Not really rocking my world, but tasty and nice beer.
