16 ounce draft at The Dapper Dog. Traditional Oktoberfest all the way through. Flavor of toffee, bread, like malt backbone, very malt spice and the finish. Nice malt hardiness.

Pale yellow, thin lasting head. Flavor is typical lager, mild malt sweetness with a mild hop bitterness. Mild spicy taste. Crisp.

Notes from 1/09/2009. Hard drive data scraping is well worth the money, let me tell you. Priceless family photos, rebates & receipts, insurance forms, music, nah... kb after kb of old beer reviews. That's what it's all about. :D Thanks to bboven, whether these beers sit well with me or not. Rounded pint glass. Unusual, lop-sided, dough-colored milky head. Uniform lacing over a dirty amber, chill-hazed, iced tea-like body. Caramel & spicy/tangy orange hop notes. A little dry bread crust & heavier then expected alcohol. Taste isn't as big as the nose suggests. Slightly resinous/rindy hops, honestly in balance with the doughy malty. A lingering spicy citrus sizzles along with the enthusiastic carbonation. Astringency is at a minimum. Easy.

12/19/21 Single from Whole Paycheck. Duvel glass @home. Filled 11/01/21. 5.9% abv. Dense egg cream head. Sticky. Mild malt, bag of cheap candy bars, very very gentle spice. Egg cream, Cola, Milk Duds, faded but lingering bitter spice. Flavors build a bit as it warms, lo-key raisin, peanuts, but who's going to nurse a 5% beer? Gentle, thin, non-demanding, smooth. Might have another.
