Appearance - 4 | Aroma - 6 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 4 | Overall - 5.5
Nice rich brown coloured body with a thin lighter brown/tan head. Aroma of what else - nuts, with roasted malt, caramel and a bit of brown sugar. Medium-bodied; Strong roasty flavours throughout with nuts, nuts and more nuts in the flavour, coupled with alcohol and some caramel. Aftertaste shows some good bitter tastes, but just too much nuttiness and not enough hops or sweetness as a balance. Overall, decent, but I prefer other beers in this style and definitely other beers from the brewpub. I sampled this on draught in June 2010.

Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 8 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 7.5
Murky brown coloured body with a large dense tan head. Aroma of bread, yeast, coriander seed, curacao, bananas and a ton of cloves. Medium to Full-bodied; Strong as hell with a lot of malt and spices in the mix and a good pleasant sweetness to finish off the beer. Aftertaste shows well with a bit of fruit, but a lot of alcohol warmth. Overall, a nice beer and again, worth trying if this is available when you are at the brewpub! I sampled this beer on draught at the brewpub.

Copper coloured body with a light amber glow and a thin tan head. Aroma of nuts, caramel and some minor spices. Medium-bodied; Assertive malt in the flavour with some lighter german tasting hops and some subtle sweetness and a more pronounced spiciness. Aftertaste shows some spices, but mainly malty tastes that leave the mouth fairly dry. Overall, a good marzen with a touch of spices and some minor sweetness.
