Commercial Description:
An early German ale, this full-bodied Düsseldorf style exhibits a rich mahogany color. Special malts imported from Munich lend an authentic malty note to this exceptional brew.

Brown, fair amount of head. Medium-bodied, not too hoppy, which is surprising with DGB’s beers.

Dark clear red brown. Two finger off white head that leaves spotty interconnected lacing. Dark cherry aroma, sweet red nutty malts. Sweet cherries in the malt. Light bitter nutty finish.

on tap-pours a light tan head and copper color. Aroma is mild sweet medium malt. Taste is sweet medium malt, some nut brown character, secondary biting hops, tea leaf, yeasty. Medium body.

Very slight aroma of sweet malt, but contains hints of bitterness. This beer was slightly watery. It was ok.

From growler... pours amber, with little head. Aroma is a smoky malt aroma. This definitely has more flavoring hops that I expected. It pairs with the malt well. There are smoky flavors, but a lot of the bready flavors that I usually associate with an alt. Carbonation seems to be dead on with it.

Growler. Poured a clear brown color with a medium off-white head. Very slight lacing. Aroma has some caramel and roasted malt to it. Flavor is pretty nutty and also has a bit of smokiness to it. Malty and bitter finish. It’s a decent altbier
