hopIQ found 10 beers with the same toasty and honey character as Oaktoberfest. Oaktoberfest is the brewery's autumn festbier, brewed on and off since 2005 and packaged regularly since 2014. The grist is German Vienna and pilsner malt with noble German hops and a Munich lager yeast; part of the beer is lagered cold in French oak barrels that previously held Napa Valley wine. It pours light amber, with toasted biscuit, bread crust and a honey-like sweetness, a trace of vanilla from the oak, faint herbal hop spice and a clean, lightly dry finish. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
