Bottle from mein-biershop.de. Dark golden color with small white head. Malty, grainy aroma. Taste, sweet malt, caramel, v erylight bitterness in background.

500 ml bottle. Pours clear orange-brown with medium white head. Fruity aroma. Good spicy taste with mild bitterness, a tad sweet. Mildly bitter palate.

Bitter-fruity and yet sweet aroma´with hints of coffee. Medium white head, clear amber brown colour. Fruity taste with spicy notes. Surprisingly roasty palate - especially for a Märzen. Good one.

Pours cloudy amber with a thick, lasting head. Aroma of spices, apples cider and yeast. Flavour of spices, herbs, vegetables and yeast.

0.5 l bottle, thanks Timo A! Amber color. Sweet bready, nutty, toffeish and caramelly taste. Sweet very bready, nutty and toffeish taste with restrained herbal hoppiness and some warming alcohol. Medium to full body. OK märzen on a bready side.

Sorry for the german rating, but this is a lousy rating from my "newbie" time (2007-2009), and it’s not worth of being translated. I just added it for the statistics, and to complete my backlog!
Im Glas leuchtend amberfarben, eine grobe seifige Krone steht aus dem Bier. Der Geruch ist süßmalzig, dezent karamellig. Der Antrunk fällt röstmalzig aus, ein kaffeebitterer Touch kommt hinzu. Der Abgang ist lecker karamellig, röstig bitter und kräftig würzig.

Bottle. Light amber, average and fully diminishing head. Moderate malty and sweetish aroma, some caramel, faint hoppyness. Body is medium, malty and sweetish flavor, some caramel, faint bread and faint hoppyness. Finish is average, malty and sweetish, some caramel and light grassy hoppyness. Caramel sweetish märzen with some hoppyness in the finish. Anyway, too sweet for me.

It’s bronze with a creamy head and a slightly spicy aroma of malt, caramel, light oranges and other fruits. The flavour is sweet with notes of caramel, malt, fruit, and the finish is slightly dry. It’s soft and nice, and kind of reminds me of a Christmas beer.

Das Bier startet sanft würzig mit dezent herber Note. Dieses sanfte, auf die Dauer aber recht einfach wirkende Zusammenspiel setzt sich im Mittelteil fort. Hier scheint das Malz einen Vorschlag wagen zu wollen, was wünschenswert wäre, dies passiert dann aber leider doch nicht. Im Nachgeschmack wird das Bier wann etwas würziger und wirkt hier sehr vollmundig. Test vom 22.8.2007, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 11,10,11,11,9,11

Bottle. Copper color - dusty aroma. Malt, sugar, breads. Nothing that lingers in the aftertaste.
