Marzen - Seasonal
Flying Dog Brewery
Frederick, Maryland, USA
5.6% abv
30 IBU
12 oz bottle
$9.99 a six pack
Purchased at Super Fine Liquor and Beer – Canton, MI
Appearance: deep caramel color with a burnt copper hue and a thin, light beige head. Not too much lacing happening here.
Aroma: light bouquet overall, with some sweet wheat bread notes.
Flavors: some roasted caramel, pecans, nice Oktoberfest type spice, and toasted sweet wheat bread.
Mouthfeel: the roasted caramel and spice linger on the palate. Moderate carbonation. This ‘fest’ has a nice balance between the sweet malts and bitter hops. To me the sweetness is on the delivery and the bitter is on the finish and aftertaste.
My Strength Rating: 6.5 – the finish and aftertaste puts this one in the medium-full range.

To the Point: it has been three years since I have had this Marzen. I forgot how much I liked this DOG. Overall, a very good Oktoberfest style. DOGtoberfest is very worthy of a six pack. Hell, I am buying a case and throwing a party – break out the sausage and the big pretzels. Anybody own an accordion.
