Type: Seasonal/Oktoberfest
ABV: 5.4%
Sight: Medium toasted brown body with a half-fingers thick pure white head. Light carbonation continues from the bottom, until the first sip.
Aroma: Sweet caramel and roasted malt are the big scents coming from the glass. A little tingle of alcohol, with an underlying, very distant hop.
Taste: Very sweet up front as the malt comes across as candied sugars and dark fruit(maybe plum)...Whatever it is, it is good. Clean and refreshing up from with very little aftertaste. The body flows very well and the front is comparable to the finish where a slight tingle of alcohol hides.
Overall: Very easy drinking from front to back. Sweet and subtle with a creamy medium body that coats the tongue nicely. Malt dominates throughout in a good way where some fall seasonals fall short with the malt fronting of closing things out. Sweeter than most Oktoberfest, and that is what makes this one original.
Score: 8.9
