look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.25
Aroma: lots of caramel, Münchenermalz, very much like a Märzen, toasty.
Flavor:
Front: roasted and toasted flavors, a nice amount of bitterness up front, like a Noble hop, maybe Tettnanger?
Middle: lots of roasted, caramel, quite sweet but not overly so. Delicious.
Back: again same as middle, very caramelly, roasted flavor, burnt umami taste of blackened Cajun chicken, a very deep flavor to enjoy.
Aftertaste: more burnt, blackened and roasted malt, lingering like blackened pan-fried meat. On top of that, you get a hop bitterness bite that stays with you.
Overall: At first, when I heard Bayrisches Märzen, I expected more a caramel-forward beer, sweet; however, this beer is better because it's far more complex than that. It's a roasted BBQ-ers dream, full of umami and sharp burnt flavors which mix wonderfully with the sweet caramelly under and overtones, and... a nice bitterness up front and in the aftertaste. A really well balanced mix of flavors.
