Aroma: roasty toasty malt with a nice balanced hoppiness in the background. Pours clear amber/copper brown with nice semi-full off-white head. Flavor begins smooth and malty. Malt is fresh roasted and rich. Finishes with a nice flavor of almost fresh cut grass. Carbonation is nice and enjoyable, light to medium body. Drinkability is medium to high, One of the best Octoberfests out there. Really a good time of the year for this excellent beer!

I think, though, that this beer style is a bit undervalued by many raters. Obviously this doesn’t match up against an imperial stout. This beer was well-balanced between the hops and malts and had a smooth finish. Pleasant aftertaste. Great sessioner. Rciesla (3915), Exit 15W, New Jersey, USA
