Dogtoberfest
I've had other brews from Flying Dog and been very impressed. This was a bit of a let down. Pours an unimpressive apple juice color--no richness or viscosity to it. And the burnt-sugar colored head quickly dissipates. In fact, there seems to be little carbonation whatsoever. The smell seems bland at first but warms up as you get further into the brew--omits a nice apple, caramel sugar. Again, at first this is nothing impressive--but it warms up as time goes on...just as a nice Marzen should. Unfortunately, I got a slight metallic taste that would not go away.
