This was called New Years Fest but it seems to be the same. 2007 version. Medium to dark amber color, tall head. Rich malt aroma, slightly nutty, a bit sweet, also a bit buttery. Rich malt flavor. Nutty, bready, a bit sweet. Round and mellow, a bit too buttery, but with good hops as well, better than usual for the style. A little too much carbonation. Almost gassy. Strong, dry, amber malt and hop finish. Lingering bitterness. Very different to a Munich festbier.

Cloudy light amber color. Some hops are noticable at first, but as beer warms up bready and caramel notes become more present. Kicks off with a deep bready malty and caramel mouth, but balanced with some hop bitterness in mouth. Very light bodied. Dry bready caramel finish. Beer definetely got better as time went on.
