Beautiful clear dark golden color. Fine tasting marzen, on the lighter side of the style. Karl Strauss in San Diego made a similar beer, though it's an ale, for this year's Christmas Ale(2003). Nice sweet malty flavor with an interesting buttery or butterscotch flavor that I liked.

Nov 23, 2009 500 ML Bottle in Germany. Deep Amber color, with a full orange off white head. Wonderful complex aroma, with earthy grass and hints of spicy herbs. Taste is very well done and perfect for winter foods in Germany. Nice mix of hops and sweet flavors. Palate is full but not overpowering. A really good beer. A great Vienna by any standard!

Nov 17, 2009 Bottle. Had this one on a recent trip to Chicago. Wasn’t a great beer but was good. Started off with a nice hop-malt balance but finished just a tad too bitter. For some reason it said "malt liqour" on the label. Anyway, recommended to try at least once.

Oct 12, 2009 Bottle from Phoenix Fine Drinks, Gloucester. Deep copper with a big, frothy off-white head. Mlaty, cereal and red fruit aroma. Flavour of prunes, biscuity malts and caramel. Finish was dryish with a hint of roastiness. Good.

Oct 1, 2009 Tried a bottle of this for the first time tonight. Colour... orange-amber with a very thick, frothy head. Nose... malt and honey. Palate... very light carbonation, sweet malt, yeast, honey and toffee and rather marzen-like though not as, "robust". Decent beer, but certainly not a, "winter warmer".

Aug 3, 2009 Bottle@Řl&Mat 09, Oslo. Deep copper colored body. Foamy offwhite head. Toasted malt aroma with a whiff of toffee. Medium sweet malt body. A slight acidity beneath. Light-bodied. Feels a bit diluted in the mouth. No hops detected. Dries up towards the finish. Very ordinary.

Jul 1, 2009 Bottle, Oslo Beer Festival.
Light, some malt, a hint of alcohol. Lightweights. A little yeasty palate. OK, but not very impressed.
