Spaten Oktoberfest Ur-Märzen

pours amber gold with a thin white head and a strong skunky grainy malt aroma. Flavour smooth pale malt and grassy hop. Slight herbal anise tone in the dry finish.

bottle, medium amber color with a foamy rocky head, nose is malty, flavor is oddly bitter and medicinal with some caramel, finish is exceedingly bitter also

Poured a weak yellow color with a white head. Aroma was german skunkyness and malts. Flavor was really bland, weak malts and a hint of skunk. Blah.

A decent brew on tap. Not much to the aroma, some roasted malts. Pour is amber with a thin white head. Flavor is interesting of coriander, roasted malts and hops. Palate is rather boring, smooth but lacks anything else to it.

Pours medium brown with nice thick head. Great aroma earthiness, barley, and hops. Taste matches the aroma with rich grains and malt. Where’s a big stein of this stuff on tap when you need it?

It’s a nice dark amber color with a strong flavor. I am not much on heavy beers, but I can appreciate the beer for what it is. It’s definitely a one time drinker, don’t want to go throwing a bunch of these back.

Is a nice dark copper color with a real strong malt taste to it. Wasn’t really my type of beer but could respect what it was doing. Heavy to drink, best suited for a "one and done" type of beer drinking session. Finishes semi-sweet.

2008 Bottle - Pours almost orange with a small off white head that dissipates quickly, full aroma of prunes? and grain, flavour is lightly bitter and follows through with a malty and slightly spiced finish...clean mouthfeel and fleeting presence...a decent fall brew...
