Commercial Description:
A surprisingly easy-drinking dark ale with a medium body, malty palate and a smooth dry finish. Our alt is brewed in the tradition of the German "sticke" or "secret" alt which was a fuller, darker, and higher alcohol alt served unadvertised by German brewpubs at regular ale prices as a reward to regular customers who knew to ask for it.

Black, clear color with modest head. Mostly malt flavor, with some sweetness and little hop bitterness. IMHO this is a good example of the style.

Dark brown, almost black in color with full creamy white head. Dark roasted malt aromas with a bit of nuttiness, bittersweet chocolate, and an herbal aftertaste strangely enough like Dr. Pepper. Well carbonated and highly drinkable. Medium to full in body with a creamy texture and nice clean finish.

This black ale poured with a massive tan head and a malty aroma. This beer is extremely carbonated. There is a pleasant slightly sweet smoked malt flavor.

12 oz. bottle from Dansting. Pour is an explosively large tan / off-white head. Mahogany color. Aroma is nutty and smoky. Taste is a nice nut maltiness with a slightly roasted finish. Nice subtle flavors and a very drinkable beer.

Dark brown with massive light brown head. Malty flavor with some roasted chocolate and something that is a bit of a metallic-like bitterness. Not bad.

Dark brown, some lacing. Average roast in aroma and taste. Not bitter, fairly smooth. Good session.
