Taste is spicy and sweet, with notes of brown sugar and caramel. Character doesn’t bowl you over, yet is very solid. Enjoyable stuff. ben4321 (984), Rockville, Maryland, USA

I picked up a bottle of this last fall from Norm’s, it’s a solid if not spectacular Octoberfest brew.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jul 14, 2009 Poured a solid, three-finger head of tan hue above a clear dark amber body. Aroma was clean and clear but had nothing prominent, and the taste was a nice blend of hops and spices. An okay mouthfeel with a sweet and spiced finish make for a nice, refreshing fall beer. leems (147), Portland, Oregon, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jul 5, 2009 Draft pitchers @ Gustav’s. Amber pour with a cream head. Sweet with not quite enough hop. Smooth and fairly flavorful for a German beer on draft in a chain. Beardface (984), Eugene, Oregon, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jun 26, 2009 On draft at Gustav’s. Clear amber pour with a small cream colored head. Mostly sweet malt flavor with some light floral hops in there and a strange, buttery aftertaste. It was smooth and easy to quaff though. mcdav2154 (297), Germany
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jun 25, 2009 12oz bottle. Lighter amber color with a pretty nice cream head. some lacing. Sweetness of the malt and balenced with hops. Very nice. The aftertaste was a bit like buttered bread. A little watered down so it shouldn’t get the highest marks but still a very good beer.
