Bottle (Monk’s Fest). Head is initially average sized, frothy, off-white, mostly lasting. Body is medium amber. Aroma is moderately malty (toasted bread, cookie, caramel), lightly to moderately hoppy (flowers, apricot), with a light note of peach. Flavor is moderately to heavily sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly to moderately sweet, lightly acidic, moderately bitter. Medium body, watery/velvety texture, lively carbonation, lightly alcoholic, metallic. The metallic finish taints the enjoyment a bit, and it’s a tad too sweet, but otherwise it’s a juicy, enjoyable brew.

Sampled on 11/27.2009. This marzen pours a light to medium copper brown color from a 50cl swingtop. Small to medium sized white foamy head. The aroma is caramel and malty, fruity and sweet. A medium bodied marzen. The malts are caramel, fruity and sweet. The hops are earthy and floral. Nice balance. Smooth taste. Good carbonation. A touch of a dry finish. Very drinkable. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and dry. Aftertaste is sweet.

Draft at Brick Store in Atlanta. much darker than I’d expected. Nice firm pillowtop of a head. Big malty aroma on this one. Drinks with a dfinite malt bent too, but also a nice bitter twist at the finish. Exceptional. (#3719, 10/26/2009)

Bottle: Pours a dark brown color with a light head. The nose is toasty with light maltiness and a grassy sweetness. The malts are nice and nutty, rich and full. The flavor is a little sweet and fruity forward, grainy with a touch of toast. Finishes mild and light, a bit thinner than I’d hoped and a rounded tail. Decent enough, but I need some decoction!

500ml Bottle: Light aroma of malts, nuts, and the slightest hint of caramel. Poured orange/amber in color with a large, off-white head that diminished but lasted throughout. Clear. Not sparkling. Flavor is lightly sweet. Tastes of malts, nuts, bread, and a hint of caramel. Light to medium body. Lightly dry, thin texture. Average carbonation. Lightly sweet, malt and nut finish is slightly dry.
