Pours clear copper red, brown sugar head is coarse and dissipates to a lacing.
Smells of buttered biscuit, coppery malts, and caramel.
Flavor is of biscuit malt with brown sugar and molasses. Toasty finish.
Medium to full body with tingly carbonation on the roof of the mouth.
Very flavorful and rich, great body. Decent poor. Overall above average marzen on the darker side. A bit heavier than you might expect. Worth a grab but maybe too much on the palate for sessioning.

Not much of a head, a reddish brown color. no lacing to speak of. Smell is musty. Taste is clean, some spice. Feel is nice, warming in the throat but no taste of alcohol. Good beer that I would revisit if offered.
