Poured on-tap at the Red Door in Watertown, Conn.

A: This brew poured a dark orange with a 1/4 inch head that disappeared rather quickly. Nice color, not too bad of a lace.

S: Smells sweet and toasty, with definitive malt sweetness and some sugary grain thrown into the mix for good measure.

T: Taste is sweet and malty, just as you would expect from the smell. It tastes like a fuller-bodied Red Ale that's been given more malt, and thus, more character.

M: Mouthfeel is medium to full-bodied, I'd say, for an American Marzen. Not too heavy to enjoy more than a couple.

D: Drinkability is high, despite the higher than average ABV tap offering; it's smooth and tasty, and too good to turn down, given the season we're in. So many of these could be had.

This particular night, it's all that could be had, and for a change in seasonal brews, I say, welcome to the Oktoberfest season, with this American offering of the style.

Serving type: on-tap
