Lots of barrel. Very sweet. Lovely dahlia bouquet that Pete got from the market to win mother in law brownie points!

Moderate barrel flavors overpower the lighter Oktoberfest base beer. Not bad, but doesn’t need to be barreled.

Second time poured into a glass. Opens the beer up a bit and the aroma is nice. I don’t think I’m as impressed with it as I initially thought. Good but not excellent

I can't believe I am saying this, however, I prefer the original Oktoberfest to this. I think that the barrel notes distract from what a typical Marzen style ale should taste like. But...it is still pretty tasty

A marzen that is aged in a bourbon barrel is an interesting idea, but the bourbon overwhelms the traditional adjuncts. Ok, but maybe not the best style to barrel age.

Bourbon forward and malty and a bit sharp on the onset. Allow it to warm slightly and the flavors become balanced.

Well… its very boozy, however almost all of the flvors that make a marzen a marzen are overwhelmed by the booziness. i dont really taste the bready/ biscuity flavors that Octoberfests give. i was hoping to give this a higher rating but I can’t.

Heard it was pretty boozy, but it must vary from bottle to bottle or batch to batch?? A tad thin on the boozyness on this bottle and definitely misses the taste for a marzen, but probably the barrel aging that did that! Overall….not great, but not bad!

I like the idea. A bit much for an Oktoberfest.

So the whole idea of marzen beers is to be a smooth mild flavor so making it imperial and adding bourbon kinda defeats the whole purpose. It's solid but not worth what u pay for it.

Rating as a barrel aged beer not as a Marzen. I think it would have been better if it was not aged as long. Bourbon taste over powered the beer somewhat. Interesting but not something i would probably get again

This is good but I like the classic Oktoberfest better.

I have an expensive 4 pack of high test. I can’t say that I’m a fan of the barrel aging for an Ofest. As a bbl aged beer, it’s good but as far as a fest beer goes, meh.

Disappointing. Not a fan of the marzen style in general but I got hooked by the “barrel-aged”. Hoped for more flavor.
