December 5, 2005 - #149 of 365

Brewer: Spaten-Franziskaner-Brau (Munich, Germany)
Beer: Spaten Oktoberfest Ur-Marzen
Style: Oktoberfest/Marzen
abv: 5.9%

Background: Bottle from the store. I know it's not October, but I've been told that it is Rocktober.

Appearance: Pours amber-red with a large, off-white head. Sparse but long-lasting effervescence.

Aroma: Smoke, toffee, caramel, and, oddly enough, a little bit of plastic.

Flavor: Smokier than most Oktoberfests I've had. Decent malt flavor, but you can taste that damned plastic, and it's even worse than the metallic taste of some Fests.

Notes: So-so.

Rating: 3.1 out of 5
