Ayinger Octoberfest Marzen
Rating: 6 out of 10
Beer temp. 48.2 F - 9.7 C. Pours medium amber with large light amber head with fairly large bubbles. Slight caramel aroma with some sweetness and maybe a touch of wheat. First taste is of marked sweetness and light caramel taste and a nice clean bitterness of the hops with a clean finish. Head lasted pretty well but not much lacing. The balance is good. Nice rich mouth feel. I feel it should be colder than I had it. The harmony I've found in all Ayinger biers is still there. Although not as good as the other Ayingers I've had, it's still good. Secondary flavors lean toward toffee. Flavors last well and work the back of the tongue.
As a youngster caramel was about the only candy I could have so I'm not too big a fan of it. Just a tad too much sweetness for me, kind of like a dessert. Although a good bier will give it a 6. Repeatability, not really.
