Poured from 12-ounce bottle into a straight-sided mug. Dark amber color, with a light tan head that dissipated quickly leaving no lacing to speak of. This seems to hit its stride right at cellar temperature. Aromas and flavors of dark bread, caramel, and a little molasses, with an odd funky and fruity note that fades as the beer warms. Excellent bitterness, with a slightly creamy mouthfeel. Not overly sweet for a malty beer. The finish is quite dry, with no lingering off-flavors. Overall, this is a very good beer. I'd suggest allowing it to warm a bit from fridge temperature before drinking. As always, YMMV.

I had this beer on draft at a bar. It was about what I expected from an Oktoberfest type beer. Overall it was pretty good. My fiance that doesn't drink beer often really enjoyed it.

12oz bottle. Poured out a clear, burgundy with a small, tan head of foam. It smelled toasted caramel, toffee and floral notes. Sweet caramel taste with a touch of bitter hop bite.
