Sampled a pint at Bailey's Taproom. Pours a light tan with golden highlights, with a small, one-finger, creamy white head that takes a few minutes to retreat to a pretty ring around the top of the glass. Aroma of sweet biscuity malt, a faint whiff of tobacco, and a very mild hit of brown sugar.
Palate is mild sweet malt up front, with notes of biscuit, light brown sugar, and just a touch of fruitiness. A very slightly chalky bitterness appears briefly before the swallow, with the finish leaving a mild, stone-fruit sweetness lingering for a few moments. Body is just a little thin, but fairly creamy, making this a highly drinkable beer. I'm a fan. Even though it clocks in at a bit higher ABV than most marzens, I could happily drink a couple of these in a sitting. Good stuff.

(Note: Not sure if this is the same as Caldera's Oktoberfestbier or not. Anyone who knows, please clarify.)
