Немного разочеровался. Очень тяжело, бочка овер сильная, шоколад сильный, но без сладости особой. Классика вроде, но ожидал большего.
On tap at Cafe Pardaf. Chocolate, roasted malts, brown sugar and a spiced hint. Alcohol, booze. Full body. A really nice one, although a bit sweet. 848415 251108

2018 vintage. Pours black, small and slightly tanned head. Scent is roasty, mild soy. Pretty mild on the barrel (perhaps fue to age as well). Taste is sharp, rather boozy, roasty, some soy. Barrel profile is mild, accept the boozyness. Medium body with medium low carbonation. Solid, perhaps peaked before , but not too old yet. Would have prefered more thick and less boozy though, probably due to being used to pastry stouts nowadays.

Aromas are very mild malt with a little bit of peach and hints of barnyard. Flavors are similar to nose with peach coming out more. Bittersweet with a slightly peachy sweet finish. Drinkable but nothing special.

Medium brown, so much cinnamon, so much coffee. Medium malt base, some toasty notes. Nice…good sugar richness but not other level. Yet they have still put together a tasty and balanced beer.

Half liter dimpled mug at Central Waters in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The pour is a golden amber with a small off white head with nice lace. The aroma is caramel malt, soft hay and grass. The taste is really clean marzen flavors - malt balanced nicely with grass and softly clove yeast. The palate is medium bodied with soft natural carbonation and a clean dry soft sweet malt finish. Nice Oktoberfest, glad I could try it again. 8,7,7,7,8 - 7.4

12 oz bottle purchased as part of a mix a six at Festival in Onalaska, Wisconsin. Bottled on SEP notched on label. The pour is a clear copper golden, slight ruby, with a one inch off white head. The aroma is rounded sweet caramel malt, maybe a soft cocoa with a hint of vanilla, and distant grass. The taste is sweet caramel malt, with the same touch of cocoa vanilla, and the grass shows a bit dirty in the back. The palate is medium bodied, with a lower carbonation level, and a silky mouth coating finish. Pretty straight forward malt sweet Oktoberfest. Nice enough. 8,7,6,6,7.5 - 6.6

A solid light tan head on a near black body. Nose features fresh coffee, cocoa and cream. A really we balanced IS, leading with fresh coffee, coffee grounds and cocoa. This might be the most powerful presentation of coffee tastes in an IS that I have ever had. With this taste I almost expect to be spitting out coffee grounds as I drink. Solid touches of caramel and roasted malt, and hints of cherry add to the profile. Medium, to medium/thin body with a less rich mouth feel than expected. Taste thins out a bit too quick as well, but still a nice effort.
