The first offering in the Woodsman Series, Ümlaut Böktoberfest is a dark, luscious Bavarian-style lager beer that spent six weeks lagering in oak barrels at 35 degrees fahrenheit. It is a twisted version of the classic German Märzen/Oktoberfest beer popular throughout the autumn season. The Strangeways treatment is a strong lager that boasts a malty, earthy sweetness and includes a subtle touch of smoked malts. German Opal and Smaragd hops round out the balance and lend just the right touch of herbal and floral notes to the flavor and aroma.

The oak barrels utilized initially housed Rebel Yell bourbon, and then more recently held a Trump Winery product called Cru, which is a unique fortified white port-style wine with an 18% abv. These two previous barrel inhabitants set the stage for this beer to dazzle and shine during its debut performance. As well as add a dynamic complexity balanced with subtle nuances to make you want to celebrate Oktoberfest every day with a Maß of Ümlaut Böktoberfest. O'zapft is! Prost!
