Draft. A bit watery/creamy though may have just been the keg. Amber, malts, OK but not much there.

Bottle. Nice amber color. Some head. Aroma is of bread, very slight caramel. Taste is malty with some balance.

From old tasting notes. Bright amber orange color. Fluffy beige head. Fresh malty nose. Zesty toasted malt flavor with hints of caramel and Raisin Bran. Crisp grassy hop finish.

Bottle. Pours a clear gold with small white head leaving spotty lacing. The aroma is fruity hop and honey. Thin mouth, sweet fruity hop, light bitterness, light finish, good.

This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a clear copper color with a one finger white foamy head that dissipated within about forty seconds leaving some light stringy lacing sliding into the glass.
The smell started off with a rich nutty to caramel presence leading into some toasty to bready hops.
The taste was moderately sweet with earthy undertones of nutty and caramel malts.
On the palate, this one sat about a light on the body with a very good sessionability about it. The carbonation seemed fairly smooth but I’m guessing this was last Autumn’s batch, so that’s no hit on Stoudt’s just the aging of the beer until this time.
Overall, an Oktoberfest in May, well cheers to that being that it held up even further than expected. I’d look forward to having this hopefully this Autumn with some pretzels and a football game.

Draft. Clear golden amber color, medium white head. Aroma of floral cereal. Taste is toasted caramel biscuit.

Pour is a hazy tan with a small tan head. Aroma is slightly malty and kinda thin. Flavor is better with a nice roasted nut and decent caramel malt. Finish is malty and bready. Did not start off too well with this one but after taking a few sips it grew on me and turned out to be a decent marzen.

12 ounce bottle into pint glass, best before 2/8/2013. Pours lightly hazy golden amber color with a nice 1-2 finger fairly dense white head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice spotty foamy lacing clings to the glass. Aromas of caramel, pear, apple, bread, toast, toffee, floral, light citrus, and herbal hops. Very nice aromas with good balance, strength, and complexity. Taste of caramel, toast, bread, pear, apple, toffee, floral, light pepper, and herbal hops. No bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of caramel, light fruits, toast, toffee, bread, floral, and herbal hops on the finish for a good bit. Very nice balance of malty flavors that are fairly robust; with zero cloying flavors present after the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth and moderately creamy mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with hardly any warming noticed after the finish. Overall this is a very nice Oktoberfest. Nice balance of fairly robust malty flavors; and very smooth to drink. A very enjoyable offering; and nice example of the style as well.

12 oz. bottle from Table & Vine. No best by or born on date anywhere. Aromas showing me light caramel and lager yeast with a touch of spice. Taste is Lightly sweet malts, a tad of biscuit with a very subtle hop toward the end of sip. Carbonation is about average leaving a sticky texture on your tongue. Body is on the light side but it has a bit more flavor then I was expecting. You could make this a session brew if you so desired. Worth a try if you drink this style.
