Draft at Dexters. Deep brown-black, with a steady thick beige head. Soem kind of alien aroma, bourbon, cognac, licorice, sour fruit. An odd beer, I certainly get a sour taste, Oud Bruin-like. Definitely a WTF kind of beer, at this point a big dark sour. OK.

Tap at Dexters. Unfiltered deep brown. Sweet bourbon barrel flavor, rich and resinous, but never quite overwhelming. Vanilla, amber, woody caramel tones. Brown sugar, molasses. Big and full bodied, a beast of a beer. Tasty.

Bottle. Beer of the month club. Clear deep golden color with a medium white head. Aroma of malt, hay, bread, caramel, floral and slightly grassy hops and some vegetal notes. Sweetish malty flavor with caramel, a note of honey, finishes with some bitter hops. Medium-bodied. Kinda OK.

Draft @ Meadhall, Cambridge, MA. They used a standard Hebrew pint glass. Nose is bourbon with piles of sweet malts and light oak. The taste reminds me of a barely wine in a lot of ways. Rich flavor with hints of big caramel malts, vanilla, and bourbon with the oak flavor in the finish. Mouthfeel is medium in body with a syrupy, dry texture. Lots of warming alcohol on the way down your throat. Carbonation was average amount. This is a sipper for sure. Rating number 1500 since joining Ratebeer.com on a very memorable night in Cambridge, MA

Bottle from craft beer of month club my friend got me, although Ive passed over this beer in stores many a time. Pours golden with small dissipating head. Not much to speak of on nose, some malt perhaps, tastes pretty full bodied for pilsener, lots of malt, some grains, pepper, paper, and earth. Decent bitterness. Ok

first let me say this is not an octoberfest nor marzen, forget about that. This is some kind of rouge colored beer that may think its approaching fest intaste but never gets there. Yes, it is purplish red on the pour. BTW had this on tap at bocktown monaca. Smells like any other clean beer. Thin creamy head. Nice lacing. Weird flavors of bitter sensations. Finish is medicinal. Yes, you can be sure this is not an october fest - I’d say it is a veggie spice beer.
