Damm’s first Märzenbier was created in 1953. In the early years, it was only brewed between October and April and wasn’t made for the rest of the year. In 1955, as it had become a great success, it was decided to brew the Märzenbier all year round. It was given the name Voll-Damm. “Voll” in German means full, complete. The name suited a strong, intense and full-bodied beer. During cooking we add Nugget, Magnum and Taurus variety hops, which are responsible for the characteristic bitterness of Voll-Damm.

Golden color, creamy white head. Burnt roasted sugar in the aroma - typical bock/doppelbock-nose. Malty, slightly woody hoppy. Suprisingly "watery feeling" and does not show much alcohol. Toasted notes. Simple but drinkable bock from "not so great brewery".

Bottle in Spanish Tapas bar, on Oxford jail site 01-04-06 Had to drink out of bottle in a dimly lit environment so don’t know what colour it was. Very decent lager plenty of malt, despite it’s strength it was quite an easy drinking and flavoursome beer.

Rich, sweet malty brew. Slightly cloying, a bit one-dimensional. The richness was overwhelming. Better than Spanish mainstream lagers, but nothing compared to German Bocks. I also agree with other posters, this hardly seems like a Marzen.

(Bottle 33 cl) Amber-golden with a thick creamy head. Very full-bodied, lots of aroma, lots of alcohol, lots of bitterness. And even if the Damm Brewery seems to use both corn and rice in all of it’s brews they also achieve to squeeze a lot of flavour into this bottle. Sweetish and malty. But an "Oktoberfest" at 7,2% That sounds very odd. I reckon this is more like a strong European lager. 250504

Deep blond color. Light aroma, sweet, malty and with some vanilla. Sweet strong lager in the front, with some malt, good body strength, smooth; high ending bitterness. Unexpected… ;-)

Stale looking lager with a very sweet and toxic aroma, the flavour is equally as disappointing, syrupy sweet with much bitterness but not too nice. Overall a poor beer.
