Bottle. Clear bright deep golden amber color, white head. Aroma of lightly toasted biscuit dipped in caramel. Taste is toasted, lightly fruity caramel. Decent.

Rating from July 2010....Its brown in color by the lantern....***Jen smells sweet creamed corn??***.....caramel aroma--sweet light malty scents in the nostrils....bubbly body with a medium malt flavor mixed with spices and a burnt caramel with a nutty touch

Sample at Kurtkeller 017: Pumpkin-tastic 02 on 10/13/2014. Clear copper-orange color with a medium off-white head that diminishes steadily. Spotty lacing. Aroma of pumpkin spices and toasted malt. Medium-bodied with flavors of biscuit malt, allspice and nutmeg. Slight floral hops in the background. The finish is sweet with a cinnamon aftertaste. Decent overall.

12 ounce bottle into dimpled mug; no bottle dating, but is a recent release. Pours slightly hazy deep reddish copper color with a small dense off white head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Light spotty lacing clings on the glass. Aromas of big caramel, toffee, toast, biscuit, chocolate, nuttiness, herbal, grass, light pepper, and yeast earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance and complexity of dark/bready/roasted malt and moderate earthy hop notes; with great strength. Taste of caramel, toast, toffee, biscuit, light nuttiness, light chocolate, herbal, grass, and yeast earthiness. Minimal bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of caramel, toast, toffee, biscuit, light nuttiness, light chocolate, herbal, grass, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a god bit. Nice complexity and solid robustness of dark/bready malt and light-moderate earthy hop flavors; with minimal cloying sweetness after the finish. Very clean malt flavors with minimal yeast ester presence. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth and fairly creamy/bready mouthfeel that is good. Alcohol is well hidden with minimal warming present after the finish. Overall this is a nice oktoberfest. Good complexity and solid robustness of dark/bready malt and light-moderate earthy hop flavors; and very smooth to drink for the ABV. I felt the malt flavor was lacking after the big nose, and the body could have been a bit fuller; but this was nicely enjoyable overall.

Draft. hazy golden color, medium off white head. Aroma is pure cherry. Taste is certainly cherry forward, a bit of caramel in there too.
