From notes. Clear ruby. Off white carbonation. Great malt elements- toast, burnt caramel/toffee, cookie. Flavor adds some hop notes towards the finish- earthy, lightly bitter, lightly floral. Nice combo of sweet and toasty with enough bitterness and dryness to balance. Medium body is just a bit smoother than balanced. Excellent marzen.

Draught at Beers in the Plaza as "Oh! Fest!". Amber with a big head. The aroma is pure toasty malt with a pleasing sweet-nutty quality. The flavor is rich toasty malt with a light hint of grainy sweetness before a dry finish with just a touch of hops. Not a style that I go crazy for, but this is a very nice example.

Beautiful dark amber pour with a hint of deeper red tones with a cream colored head. The nose was sweet from caramel malt and some apparent dark fruit, as was the flavor, with a touch of biscuit, earthiness and a medium full mouthfeel.

Out of the tank in the back? Thanks Craig. Reddish amber, roasted malts, hoppy, bready, little caramel, dry finish.

Bottle from Aspidites. Drank out of a snifter. I don’t know, maybe that was a bad move, but this stuff is not enjoyable to me at all. I’m surprised the ratings are all so high. Aroma is very vegetal, almost watermelony, and the flavor is a dank, dangerous muddy, fishy flavor that I dread going near every sip. I love a good Oktoberfest, but this just isn’t doing it for me.

This Marzen poured a deep yellow gold color from a fresh growler. Small sized white foamy head. Aroma is caramel and malty, Medium bodied Marzen. The malts are caramel and fruity, semisweet. The hops are earth and floral, there is also a nice rye bread like spiciness here that is quite nice. Nice carbonation. Good balance. A very drinkable Marzen. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.

On tap at the Schooner’s Brewery/Restaurant in Antioch. The beer poured clear copper – caramel color with light tan foam ring. There’s a mild aroma of spice, faint dark fruitiness and caramel malts. The fruitiness noted in the nose jumps out in the flavor with dates and prunes that meet up with a mild spice and beat sugar flavor mixture. There is also a diluted caramel sweetness running through along the background.
