Big malty aroma with a slight noble hop bitterness. Taste is a wonderful balance between the malt presence and the hops. Not the best in this style, but good. dkachur (2347), Charlottesville, Virginia, USA

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 14/20 | Jul 28, 2008 Bottle at Oktoberfest party in Bangor. Malts and hops co-mingle well. The beer is a flatliner it has nice base flavor to work with but goes nowhere. That being said its a good heavy session beer. You can stay sober by eating wurst and pretzels. troopie (860), USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Jul 6, 2008 Bottle. Poured dark gold with thick white head. Wonderful hoppy and malty aroma. Flavour just drops off the table with a flat ending. Thin body and a flattish finish. Acceptable, but a disappointment after such a fine start. leninthedesert (112), Nevada, USA
