The Kaiser once said, "Give me a woman who loves beer and I will conquer the world." If the Kaiser and his significant other had tipped this bottle, we'd all be "sprechenden Deutsch!" We took all that is good in a traditional Oktoberfest - gorgeous, deep copper sheen, massive malty backbone and spicy, floral, pungent noble hops - then intensified each into this, an Imperial Oktoberfest.

Food pairing: The Kaiser is most at home with traditional Oktoberfest fare: bratwurst, sauerkraut and potato salad are all good matches.  Also try The Kaiser with smoked short ribs.
