From the brewer

The Kaiser once said, “Give me a woman who loves beer and I will conquer the world.” If the Kaiser and his significant other had tipped this bottle, we’d all be “sprechenden Deutsch!” We took all that is good in a traditional Oktoberfest – gorgeous, deep copper sheen, massive malty backbone and spicy, floral, pungent noble hops – then intensified each into this, an Imperial Oktoberfest.

Who's been drinking this

Smells like acidic, fermented corn flakes-- has a sharp sweet malt smell. Tastes like toasted corn flakes but with a warm spiced hint. Solid body taste.
Sweet, almost vegetal, super-malty character, bleeding into a strong alcohol finish. It's like they took a Sam Adams Oktoberfest and Imperialized it, where I was looking for some amped-up grassy hop character.
