Avery The Kaiser:
Guten Tag everyone!  Now I know that when I said a few weeks ago that I was done with Oktoberfest beers for this year but then I realized that I hadn’t yet found this beer (and completely forgot about another, but that’s a few days away) but since we now have both in front of me, let’s take this one at a time.  Tonight’s beer is from Avery brewing company and part of their “Dictator” line of brews, this one being the Kaiser, an Imperial Oktoberfest.  Now one thing I’m beginning to see that the word “imperial” in-front of a beer type  means everything is doubled and, as far as my experience goes, makes it delicious.   So tonight’s beer is an Imperial Oktoberfest is double spice, double the noble hops, and a nice malt prowess.  The beer pours the familiar amber color with a minimal head that dissipates to the interior rim and a nice caramel nose that mixes the malts and hops in a good balance.  The beer’s taste is like, well, like drinking two delicious Oktoberfest beers at once (remember that whole “double” thing from before?) and with a 9% ABV it’s nearly there since most Oktoberfest Marzens are 5% ABV.  An awesome beer, really, just amazing, I think this will be my new favorite domestic Oktoberfest though Left Hand’s brew is widely available.  If you can find this one, grab it, hell grab two, and enjoy.
