Time to plan a trip to Ohio...............I Love Marzen style brews,hell I even liked the Sam Adams OF but it's the only Sam Adams worth drinking IMHO.I'll try to give you more than a few hours notice Lou.

Would love to have you up my friend! Tried a couple today:
Spaten; a little skunky scent on the pour. Some bite at start that smooths out. Bought as a single where the green bottle sat on the shelf. Could explain sharpness. Still good.
Ayinger; Much smoother than the Spaten. Light fruitiness with a spritzer like taste; kind of champagne-like. Very good, but wouldn't drink it regularly, more as a special occasion.
Previously Had
Magic Hat Hex; had to go back for more. Flavor was excellent with some hoppy presence and spices on the finish. I would make this.
Ichabod; My wife's favorite. Little discernible pumpkin flavor, but spices are on point without being overbearing. My wife would love me long time if I could come up with a clone recipe for this.
Arcadia Ales JawJacker; We both kinda thought WTF when drinking this. Didn't know what they were going for with the flavors. Should try a second one, but not for the price they wanted for it.
Sam Adams Octoberfest; For an octoberfest, it seemed thin. Jen likes them, but they will probably sit until she drinks all the ones she likes better.
Paulener; last years leftover. Pretty sharp bite to it, like the Spaten. But once the bite died down, not much flavor left.
Sierra Tumbler; Said I didn't care much for it, and T.G. rebuked me. I'll have to have another one on a clean palate.
Coney Island Freaktoberfest; One I really wanted to try and the checkout girl said was awesome. Jen drank it when I was gone. She said it was just okay, but the smell of the bottle told of a decent hops presence. Couldn't tell much from the 3 drops left in the bottle. I rebuked her for drinking it without me. They were out when I got back to the store.
