Lift Bridge Schlagen Fest (Oktoberfest )
Slagen is German for "Strike", as in the German game of "Hammerschlagen", striking with a hammer. Why this was called that, I'm not entirely sure. Poured from a growler, courtesy of Lift Bridge Brewing, fresh from the taproom.
Clear, dark amber, copper coloring, short, but lasting off-white head.
Aroma: slightly sweet earthy/herbal notes, lush malt, toasty and warm.
Taste: Malt is the champion here and rises up, dominates the palate. Medium body, nice and smooth, not too wide on any side. Warm, toasty caramel tones, rich and delicious. Judicious notes of sweet malt drop pleasure through every sip and swallow. Slides down easy, cool and classy. And it goes, it grows meatier and heartier.
