Flying Dog Brewery – Flying Dog Dogtoberfest Marzen – 12 oz. bottle poured into a pint glass – 5.6% abv.

Appearance:  Pours a dark amber with a fluffy soapy head that quickly flattens.

Aroma:  Light toasted malt, bread crust, light herbal hops.

Taste: Toasty German malt, medium spicy Euro hop bitterness, a touch of fruitiness. Finishes bready.

Mouthfeel:  Medium bodied. Average carbonation.

Overall:  A flawless, highly drinkable offering. If you are invited to an American Oktoberfest-ish type of celebration, I’d bring this over something stale and mistreated from a German Beer importer.
