MacTarnahans Uncle Ottos Oktoberfest

Pours a redish amber with a decent head with some decent lace. Smells *really* sweet. As in, beyond the malt and there's sugar there. Some fruit esters are present. Tastes malty with some fruit. Not very complex. Mouthfeel is creamy and okay. Drinkability is average. I'm not impressed at all.

I really love Octoberfests. Malty and hearty, complex stick-to-your rib beers. But this one disappointed; I found Uncle Otto to be a bit thin, and had a bizarre chemical flavor I couldn't quite put my finger on. It didn't disappear with pouring it up and letting it "breathe". There are better offerings out there.

Medium copper color, small head. A medium bodied Marzen style ale. Rich slightly sweet malt flavor, with a nice spicy hoppyness. Smooth taste. Full flavor. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is malty and slightly sweet.

A very nice looking beer..nice darkish amber colour..with an absolutly gorgeous coffee and creme coloured head. A great fresh maltyaroma in this..sort of english toffee smell. Wow this is a malt lovers beer for sure, it dominates with its creamt goodness..its not too sweet though..slight chocolate tatse..with a hint of hops near the end. Exceptionally smooth and creamy on the palate. A very nice and extremely drinkable Marzen..recommended

Poured a dark amber color with a big off-white head that hung around for a couple of minutes. The smell is dominated by a malty sweetness. One can also detect the taste of caramel and a fruitiness. Nice suprise!
