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.

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

One of my favorite marzens. The flavor was outstanding and very smooth. Perfectly balanced with the hops.

(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.

pours amber brown with a light off-white head. nose heavy of caramel malt, bread dough, and light fruit/ citrus. flavor is well-balanced caramel hops and floral hops. earthy, bready, caramel, coppery tinge. aftertaste is malty, just a hint of bitterness, and draws out nicely. lightly carbonated. goes down easy making it an exceptional session beer.

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.

(German) Courtesy of AFI96, thanks Waylo !!! Pours a dark amber color with a sm-white head. The aroma is malty with caramel, grains, and raisins. The taste is of malts, pepper, spices, and a hint of hops. This was a pretty good oktoberfest brew !!!
