Tap. Pours clear hazel, a bit reddish, small beige head, not much lacing. Aroma is malty, dark bread, bock notes, hints of copper, caramel. Docks is medium sweet, light bitter, a bit boring. Light plus body.

Draught at Churchkey, an opening round gift from the staff, thank you gentlemen. Cloudy yellow, small white head. Pretty average slightly malty slightly bitter beer. Nothing special.

Copper coloured body with a light amber glow and a thin tan head. Aroma of nuts, caramel and some minor spices. Medium-bodied; Assertive malt in the flavour with some lighter german tasting hops and some subtle sweetness and a more pronounced spiciness. Aftertaste shows some spices, but mainly malty tastes that leave the mouth fairly dry. Overall, a good marzen with a touch of spices and some minor sweetness. A nice beer and worth trying if you are in the area when its available. I sampled this beer on draught in October 2009 at the brewpub.
