Atom Smasher Oak Aged Oktoberfest Style Lager by Two Brothers Artisan Brewing

Atom Smasher Oak Aged Oktoberfest Style Lager by Two Brothers Artisan Brewing is one of the smoothest and yet still one of the best Oktoberfest beers of the fall season. Two Brothers Artisan Brewing make some amazingly smooth and delicious brews but when I read that Atom Smasher Oak Aged Oktoberfest was 7.7% ABV I was floored as this amazing craft beer drinks like it is in the low 4% ABV area. Atom Smasher Oak Aged Oktoberfest Style Lager by Two Brothers Artisan Brewing is the only oak aged Oktoberfest styles I’ve seen this year and although I feel the wood age is somewhat overdone by many brewers this one seems like it was soaked in oak just enough to smooth out the flavors nicely with nice aromas of mildly sweet caramel and biscuit malts while the first sips are nice hints of toasted malts, hints of oak with just the right amount of toffee, hops and hints of earthy spices. This amazing Oktoberfest pours a rich amber color with a nice lacey head but at 7.7% ABv and 22.6 IBU this one can easily creep up on you as as it is simply one of the smoothest Oktoberfest brews of this fall season with subtle but complex flavors.
