Sep 10, 2008 Pours a clear dark amber with a medium thick creamy frothy off-white head. Lovely lightly toasted malt, sweet caramel, a bit spicy, some nuts, and a generous amount of noble hops in the aroma. This beer doesn’t let you forget that it is German or a lager at any point. Flavor is similar to aroma, med/light caramel toasty malt, slightly rich and nutty/vinous, with noble hops playing off ever so "German." At 5.9% the alcohol plays a small part in the flavor however just enough to know that you’re drinking a "strong" beer. Nice medium body, silky carbonation.

Sep 5, 2008 Brownish pour with healthy, foamy offwhite head. Light malt aroma with little hop. Smooth and a little hop bitterness. Pretty good and excellent stylistically.

Sep 4, 2008 (Bottle). Malty yeast aroma. Dark amber color, small head. Taste is slightly sweet, malty and caramel, with a surprisingly long malty finish and just a touch of bitter hops. Delicious.

Sep 2, 2008 One of my favorite Oktoberfests for this time of year. A strong, malty aroma with just enough hops and perhaps even lager crispness to temper it. The flavor is rich, malty, crisp, and assertive. Enough hops to give it a nice noble hop character, but not to overpower the maltiness. I definitely prefer this to the Hacker Pschorr Oktoberfest.
