Poured from a bottle, this dark amber lager has a decent head. The smell is a nice balance of malts and spices. The taste follows with the spices finishing. At least medium bodied, this is a fairly heavy lager.

Pours a clear amber. Festive aroma. Good malt character. Smooth with a slightly sweet finish. An excellent Oktoberfest.

Poured into narrow pint glass: color is amber, darker side, head is light tan, fine bubbles, head presents 1 inch thick and lingers well with some lacing.
Smell is munich malt leaning with light nuttiness, caramel, slight fruitiness, hops are noble with light grass and herbal notes.
Taste is excellent, maybe more towards a bock than a marzen but I'll take that anytime - malt is dominating but not overly sweet - great munich character with light nuttiness, moderate caramel and fruitiness; hops are grassy, herbal, earthy.
Mouthfeel is moderately carbonated, moderate sweetness, enough bitterness to counter sweet malt and dry the tongue.
Overall a darker marzen with great bock like qualities thats very drinkable and flavorful and well lagered.

12oz bottle into a pint glass. Best by 11/18/20.
Looks very good in the glass. Beautiful deep reddish amber body. Small off white head doesn't last long, but still a little lacing.
Aroma strongly of sweet caramel malt
On tasting, it follows the nose, good rich malty taste, feather light bitter touch, extremely drinkable.
Mouth a little above medium, finish clean, no aftertaste.
Overall, pretty good beer. Not one of my favorite styles, but an enjoyable drink.

Pours a deep rich amber leaning towards mahogany with a tall cream colored head.
Smells nutty and bready with crystal malt and herbal hops.
Nut and bread notes give way to bitter herb.
