Sam Adams Octoberfest has quite an impressive malt flavor this year. Loses a lot of it when its too cold, but starting around 55-60 and letting it warm up a bit is exceptional. The barley has a lot of character, it almost reminds me of the malt of some trappist beers when it's at room temperature (though room temperature yesterday was probably 80).
At $26/24 I'll be drinking quite a bit of this.
That is good to hear, it had been disappointing last year
