Appearance: Pours a clear, dark amber body with a thin, wispy, white head. Smell: Aroma of toasted malts with some light, meager hop hints. Taste: Toasted malts with a touch of fresh grain. Lightly sweet throughout. Spicy hops, though with only a mild hop bitterness present. Finishes dry and crisp with a lasting hint of toasty maltiness. Mouthfeel: Medium-thin body. Medium carbonation. Drinkability: Just a tad light for me in terms of both malts and hops, though it’s still a fairly drinkable, fairly pleasant Oktoberfest from Tin Mill.

orange beer under a small head. malty aroma with touches of toasted malt. slightly sweet flavor with toasted malt. average.

Pour is a dark brown with a white head. Aroma is caramel malts and not much else. The flavor is a whole lot better. Lots of caramel malts greets you and then comes a nice overall roasted quality that stays with you after the swallow. A very ’’roated’’ marzen for sure.

Liter pour at brewery. Pours dark amber with a medium head. I wasn’t able to get much of an aroma except some maltiness. Taste was roasted malt and easy to drink, was not really a strong oktoberfest.

16oz draft at the Brewery on 10/15. Pour is a brown - reddish with a smallish off white head. Aroma of caramel malt, though the cool temp masked most of that. Taste is really nice, caramel, slight touch of roastiness and finishes with a really pleasant spiciness. Almost a dash of black pepper, which really serves to enhance the experience. Entire taste is really smooth and drinkable. Only knock on this one was that it was served way too cold in a plastic cup - understandable since Oktoberfest in Hermann is a crush of people. If you want glass, order a liter!
