500ml can from Aldi. Pours a crystal clear root beer color with ruby highlights and a khaki head with very good retention. Good lacing. Faint dark malt aroma. Smooth and clean dark malt flavor. I'd call this a mellow dark lager versus a true Schwarzbier. Very easy drinking. Medium-light body and medium-light carbonation. Zero bitterness.

16.9 oz. can from the Costco 2025 German Biergarten Collection. Pours a semi-clear orange-bronze color with a thick, tight beige head and excellent retention. Great lacing too. Lots of fine streaming bubbles. Sweet toffee aroma. The taste follows the nose, with sweet toffee and malt flavor throughout. Very clean and smooth. Medium body and light, fine carbonation. Not bitter. Good sweet beer.

16 oz. can from Total Wine in Greenville, SC. Thanks Kathy! Pours a hazy yellow color with an off-white head and very good retention. Lots of scattered lacing. Light pale malt aroma. Light pale malt flavor too, mixed with a somewhat yeasty finish. Not a typical festbier profile. A decent Hefeweizen, but not a great Oktoberfest beer. Medium body. Medium carbonation. Low bitterness. And the 6.5% ABV is warming, but mostly hidden.

Your Moment of Marzen from Liability Brewing Company was the one that did it!

18 oz. can from Total Wine in Greenville, SC. Thanks Kathy! Pours a clear bronze color with a thick khaki head and very good retention. Good lacing. Caramel malt aroma, maybe a little souring? The taste follows the nose, with caramel malt flavor with some light souring notes in the finish. Hmmm, something is off. The can is dated 7/8/25. Drinkable, but disappointing. It doesn't taste like a normal Marzen. Medium body. Light carbonation. Not bitter. I'd like to try a fresh can.

16.9 oz. can from the Costco 2025 German Biergarten Collection. Pours a clear, very dark amber color with a thick khaki head and very good retention. Very good lacing too. Dark caramel and toffee aroma. Tangy toffee flavor, with a mellow finish. Slightly sweet, but not as sweet as I expected. The tangy flavor subsides as you drink more. Decent, but not as good as I hoped. The 6.7% ABV is completely invisible. Medium body. Slick, syrupy mouthfeel. Almost no carbonation. Not bitter.
gave a cheers!

16 oz. can from the brewery. Thanks Kathy! Pours a crystal clear golden-bronze color with a large, tight khaki head and great retention. Good lacing. Lots of streaming carbonation. Caramel malt aroma. The taste follows the nose: Lightly sweet caramel malt flavor with a clean and crisp finish. Nice blend of Marzen and Festbier styles. And the 7.0% ABV is invisible. Uber repeatable. Medium body and medium-light carbonation. Not bitter. Great beer!
