Rich Malty Goodness

2009-05-29 7:51pm

This beer received good comments in the NSW Easter Case Swap. Beautiful dark golden colour, malty sweet aroma and rich malty flavours with just enough bitterness to balance it a bit. Mashed low and fermented <10C with the Munich Lager yeast. This Oktoberfest finishes nice and dry wanting you to have another drink.
