About This Beer
The leaf-peepers at Elder Pine lagered this true-to-style Märzen in American oak foeders for three months, adding toasty barrel tones to the malty brew.
Tasting Notes
Complex hints of raisin, mixed nuts, and caramel flow through the beer’s malty backbone. Those sweet and earthy nuances harmonize with its biscuity bread crust notes all the way to a crisp finish. And with a 6% ABV, you don’t have to stop at one.

Aging in oak fœders pushes this Märzen right to the edge of over-the-topness. Rich and complex, it lacks a Märzen’s refreshing qualities and drinks almost like a blend of an ESB and a bock, with the slightest hint of funk.

Light caramel and oak notes in the aroma. Taste follows aroma with the caramel maltiness a bit more forward. Finishes just a touch dry. Really like this take on a Marzen.
