Drank from a pint glass. This is my first altbier, so I really didn’t know what to expect.
It poured with a healthy white head with a good amount of lacing. It was brown with good clarity.
Head didn’t linger forever though...ready to drink quickly.
Aroma is kind of straw with pine taste that finishes a little bitter with a light alcohol taste. All in all, an average beer.

Dec 1, 2008 The color is a deep brown with slight opacity. Small head with a bit of lace. Not much intensity to the nose, yet it is distinctly malty. A smooth hoppy taste, followed by bready pretzel notes and a delayed dry, salty, malty finish. Medium body with a little extra carbonation.

Dec 1, 2008 Taste like a thicker version of Spaten Optimator or my one year aged Nikko Black. Not sure if I like it more than either of those as Frankenstein was a bit too much in carbonation bitterness for me but I enjoyed. Smells like biscuits and bread when you open it up. Dark gold brown slightly thick . Sweet like caramel or semi-sweet chocolate.
