OMG the first photo of the drink doesn't look like a beer at all, does it? if it is, it surprised me. The description you make of the smoked sauce , makes my mouth water hahaha good idea to order a starter to go calm the hunger.
Ohhh now no wonder you couldn't compare the first Oktoberfest beer with the one you tasted later, it's Spaten, I love it! you have no idea, this beer is great, when I see it anywhere, I don't think of any other. very good choice!
Thanks, I appreciate that. It's definitely one of the best marzens I have ever had. The food was good and my wife's beer was much lighter than mine.
