Bottle shared. Pours clear dark copper with a medium off white head. Aroma of nutty malt, caramel and some fruity notes. Flavour is light moderate sweet and bitter. Light medium bodied with light carbonation.

Bottle at home split with Sarah, from beer hawk. Reddy amber coloured pour with a lasting light cream coloured head. Aroma is clean nutty malts, jammy fruits, strawberry, jam on toast. Flavour is composed of semi sweet grains, toasted grains , raspberry, light honey. Little age. Palate is medium sweet, nutty, highish carbonation. Pretty tasty but the yeast profile is a bit boring.

Bottle on 1st Oct 2015: last beer of the night in The Crown Inn, Oakengates Shropshire. Clear reddy brown body with a beige toping. Nose was spiced toffee blocks with fruit and nuts in the mix (think Bluebird Toffee if you are British). The taste was also toffee like and semi-sweet in nature. Not like any Oktoberfest beer I have had before, but I liked this offering from a brewery I have not had a beer from for a long time: mental note to find some more offerings from these guys.

12 ounce bottle into dimpled mug, best before 12/11/2015. Pours crystal clear reddish copper color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense light khaki head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings around the glass. Aromas of brown sugar, brown bread, toasted biscuit, light nuttiness, herbal, grass, light pepper, and yeast earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of dark/bready malt and light-moderate earthy hop notes; with solid strength. Taste of big brown sugar, brown bread, toasted biscuit, light nuttiness, herbal, grass, light pepper, and yeast earthiness. Light herbal/spicy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of brown sugar, brown bread, toasted biscuit, light nuttiness, and herbal/toasted earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice robustness, complexity, and balance of dark/bready malt and light-moderate earthy hop flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Very clean on lager flavors with minimal yeast ester notes present. Medium carbonation and medium-full bodied; with a very smooth and moderately creamy/bready mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with minimal warming present after the finish. Overall this is a very good Oktoberfest style. All around good robustness, complexity, and balance of dark/bready malt and light-moderate earthy hop flavors; and very smooth and easy to drink. A very enjoyable offering.

Bottle at home, thanks to James, 23/09/15. Clear chestnut brown with a decent beige covering. Nose is dark fruit, spice, nutmeg, toffee. Taste comprises caramel, malt, spice, biscuit, light candy, figs. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Tasty enough offering.
