Beer is mostly malt in taste and aroma. It works as a pub ale, but I wouldn’t rush to the store to get it. Rated 3/21/03

Appearance - 4 | Aroma - 6 | Flavor - 5 | Texture - 4 | Overall - 5.5

Nice deep amber coloured body with a very thin tan head. Aroma of roasted malt, nuts, a bit of hops and some spicey essences. Medium-bodied; Sharp taste of malt coupled with nuts, and a bit of pit fruits lingering behind. Aftertaste shows some sweetness and spices, but mainly consists of malt and more nuts. Overall, a decent oktoberfest - okay for being local, but not great in the global scheme. I sampled this beer, purchased on draught at the Ram’s Head Live [Downtown] bar/nightspot in Baltimore, Maryland on 19-September-2007.
