Ultimate Oktoberfest

Other

Roll out the barrel…the bourbon barrel, that is! We’re taking the classic German-style Marzen and kicking it up a notch by adding the smooth, rich flavors that only nine months in a bourbon barrel can provide! Get out your Lederhosen and prepare for an intense wave of Bavaria Hysteria – Ultimate Oktoberfest is here!

Point elevation because of how much more drinkable this is than the typical representative of the style. I love Oktoberfest and I want to love the beer but the sweet Maltiness taste too much like hangover typically.

Now that is a different kind of marzen! Bourbon “smoothness”! Darn near perfect

I'm torn on this. The barrel is nice, but all of the subtle complexity of a Marzen are gone. I like them experimenting like this, but this one fails to have an identity and falls a little short.

Barrel aging makes this style of beer pretty darn delicious.

Don’t know what to make of this one. Lots of bourbon which is not necessarily a bad thing.

So good. Bourbon forward, just a splash of märzen.

Notes of woody bourbon & vanilla. Malty, boozy, sweet. Interesting, yet not the best from “Barrel Aged” series to my taste.

Not sure it's the "ultimate Oktoberfest" but it's damn good. Malty, bourbon, brown sugar.

Old school Founders last night followed by their new Barrel Aged Octoberfest. Smooth malty flavor with some barrel aged sweetness. 10% ABV is sneaky because it is very smooth. Well done Founders!!

It’s so nice out tonight. It’s nice to have a (heavily boozy) drink while hanging out with friends on the deck.

Not sure about this one. Does an Oktoberfest Märzen really need to be BBA?

Caramel and malty undertones are in there, but it has huge bourbon barrel weight sitting on top crushing it, prost to 10 % heat

Incredibly smooth and tasty served ice cold. As it warmed up the barrel aging gave it a little too much sweetness. Definitely the better choice if you really have to drink those Oktoberfest beers

So nothing about this is Oktoberfest, BUT this is a pretty good beer. Reminds me of a better Bourbon Barrel Ale.
