Our fall seasonal beer, Bob’s ’47 Oktoberfest is a medium-bodied, dark amber brew with a malty flavor and well-balanced hop character. With this Munich-style lager we salute our friend Bob Werkowitch, Master Brewer and graduate of the U.S. Brewer’s Academy, 1947.

Bottle: A bright and transparent dark copper pour with a large sandy head. Mild aroma is malty, earthy, and lightly spiced. Cloves and nutmeg, almost like a pumpkin ale. More of the spice comes through in the flavor, definitely cloves now. More earthiness, dry florals, light bitters, and faintly bready. Finishes dry, floral and lingering with bitters. Not bad.

Bottle. Clear amber body with a small, fizzy, off-white head, fully diminishing. Light malt aroma of toasted grain and caramel. Hint of floral hops. The flavor is moderately sweet, lightly bitter. It finishes lightly sweet and moderately bitter — too bitter for a marzen. But even discounting the style, the malts and hops are unclean and a bit disjointed leaving a slight vegetative taste and sourness. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. Not enjoyable.

Bottle. Pours with an off white and a clear orange body. Caramel, note and a nice crispness. Flavor of grain, decent bitterness and some butteriness. Medium bubbles, dry mouth.

Bottle. Pours a light copper/amber with a slight white head. Aroma of caramel with some very light fruit and spice. Near medium body with rather creamy carbonation. Flavor is fruit - maybe citrus - it has tang, caramel and mild bitter. Nutty. Really quite tasty, and it’s more dry than sweet. Good beer.

Bottle. Poured dark amber with medium white head. Full malty aroma. Balanced medium flavour malt and caramel. A lasting finish. A little metal in the fonish unfortunately.

Pours a clear copper with a small head that disappears completely - fairly malty aroma, with some floral and almost spicy character, a little bit of a buttery quality - fairly smooth and very malty - some caramel and toasted grain, burnt sugars - a mild bitterness forms late, and a bit of a warming spiciness too - finishes fairly clean, but with a lingering sweetness that lasts a bit too long for my taste - fairly well done.

12oz bottle. Orange-tan color with a quickly dissipating head. Sweet orange and amber malt aroma. Medium bodied as per style. Malt centered taste with some subdued soapy noble hops. Nutty, with some mild pumpkin spice tastes as well. A touch thinner than most Oktoberfests perhaps, but lots of flavor. Classic taste of Fall.

Bottle. The coppery amber body suppors a three finger head of fizzy beige head. Aromas are grainy malt with a honey/apple sweetness. Flavor is thick and sweet malt (bordering on apple juice concentrate) with subtle hints of spice and a little bit of metal (maybe due to age?) This is just a little on the watery side, but very pleasant.

Bottle. Pours a clear amber color with a medium frothy white head that diminishes quickly. The aroma is sweet grain with caramel and dark fruits. Decent spotty lacing on the glass. The taste is a sweet malt with a bitter finish. Easy to drink, a good marzen from Boulevard.
