GBBF. Drunk on the train home from GBBF as it dropped out of my bag and started to hiss! Hazy amber beer, small white head. Light semi dry palate. Typical Marzen nutty malts The hops are somewhat supressed with just some very mild citrus. Light and very dry finish. Not bad!

2007 bottle at RedOak. Dark cola brown, coat of beige head with nice lacing. Very fine peated aroma with seaweed, dark sugars, amontillado sherry, caramel. Tastes along much the same lines. Quite peaty and smokey; dried fruit with the caramel. Rather sharp bitterness. Fine aroma but that little bit of sharpness and oxidation with the bitterness doesn’t quite work at the end. After the sharpness fades, a long, dry, peaty, kind of oaky finish. It’s pretty good. Still a little overcarbonated even though it’s from 2007 and pretty boozy too. Complex and clearly has some improvement left in it.
