Our Oktoberfest beer features biscuity malts from dark Munich malt reminiscent of freshly baked bread. Subtle and spicy hop finish add enough character to prevent the final beer from being overly sweet. 6.5 % alc/vol
SECRET TECHNIQUES
We don’t mess with this classic lager too much (why would we?), but we selected a lager yeast and fermentation temperature schedule to really highlight our favorite dark Munich malt.

Draught @ Union, Chicago (Sept 2023). Clear rich amber color with a foamy beige head, faint caramel malt aroma, high carbonation, medium bitter caramel malt taste, thin body, long finish. A good Marzen.

16 oz can received as a birthday gift from my wife. The pour is a clear copper golden with a one inch light tan head that is lasting, falling eventually with lace. The aroma is fresh caramel malt, soft honey sweetness and a grassiness. The taste is the clean caramel honey malt up front, with floral, the grass and a hint of herbal spice towards the back. The palate is medium to light bodied, active carbonation and the clean herbal spice finish. Solid Oktoberfest, easy drinking.

Pours a stunning clear copper, topped by a thick, pillowy cream head. Sweet, cerealy, leafy, nutty nose, with an emphasis on toasted sugars. Body mostly toasted sugar/caramel and nutty cereal (Cheerios), with more toast and leafiness in the finish and a hint of tobacco. A lovely beer and a standout.

Can from Livonia Liquor. Pours a deep copper to light brown with a full two fingers of beige foam. Caramel malt aromas moving into toffee sweetness as it warms. Palate is similar with toasted caramel and toffee and some light herbal notes on the finish.

12oz bottle and on tap at the Mousetrap. In a lot of ways doesn't approximate a Fest beer. Deeper, thick malts. Approaching Dunkel, but the lagering is spot on so it kind of nails it too. A little heavy handed on the specialty malts I suppose, but still a delicious, unique offering. Big ups Tooch!!!

Pour is a clear copper with a fizzy small head. Aroma is fine with just enough malty breadyness. Flavor is a bit sweet with some brown sugar and some grainy malt. A little too much sweetness for me as I like my marzen to be like bone dry dark bread. Must have been the polka.
