Oktoberfest 2023

Draft. A dark golden beer with a lazing white head. The aroma has notes of caramel, straw, and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, caramel, and herbs, leading to a bitter finish.

Pretty funny SN, same name but different recipes, so often, come now, make it a little easier to tell what version this is? OK, now I see its a co-lab with KW, tubular. Dude. I'm just trying to figger out if I tasted this or not, go figger. What ever. Well, any way, whether I did this one or not, it matches the current RB photo, what e v v v v. Pop the lid and the nose is yer typical pale lager. No hint of what lurks inside until you taste it, then you know its a big fat fest, 6% at that. The eye on this is just like most other festies. You know, sorta brownish iced tea with yellow or orange hue or so be it. Actually, I'm really glad that S/N is finally on the wave of introducing continuous new beers, like most other whiny whanna beez do. Those other new 'craft' brewer bguys are so pico, to want to be a millionaire. S/N is so entrenched, they deserve a new brew or two without criticism. I remember going down the road on the shovelhead in monaca back in 2004 and hitten a local bar and getting a bottle of dark S/N, I was so pleased! I'm thinken hey, this is almost as good as iron city dark on draft! No shit! It even has a good co2 level, fer sher. Yea, this is pretty good and I'm liking it for the most part. OK, good job S/N, oh yea, and KW too. . . . . . . . .
