Kuhnhenn Alt

Formerly brewed at Kuhnhenn Brewing
Style: Altbier
Warren, Michigan USA

2004 bottle. Confirmed different than the Sticke Alt, which they sell side by side to this. Pours a delightful mix of browns, beiges, coppers and golds, bottle conditioned!!! with a good fleeting off-white head. Aroma of light nuttiness, chewy toffee, some earthy, soily hops, lightly dry yeast and hints of metal. Flavor is just bursting with malt, light earthy hops and yeast. The flavor hits you right away, washes over your palate and dosent leave. Who would ever have thought this little alt would prove such an incredibly flavorful, yet ever so drinkable beer?? Not me. But it is, wonderfully balanced and smooth. Medium to medium full body, but light enough on the palate to be able to drink a number of these. I was so impressed, my friend and I both actually, that we bought a case. Incredible beer, the bottle conditioning adds flavor and life to this one.

GTMW 08 - This was a wonderful alt. Pours bronze with a tan head. The aroma had such a fullness to it with malty caramel, toffee and a ton of richness without being cloying. Medium / full body with smoothness and extra gentle carbonation. The flavor starts with dark malt, banana, dark brown sugar and lots of smoothness. The finish linger around with earthy spicy dryness and caramel. I wish I could get more on this one.

Tap GTMW 2008 Absolutely beautiful attempt of the style. Banana, sweet spice, crisp, clean hops and finish. Earthy and nutty, and well hopped too. This is quite good.

from the bottle. poured a muddy amber with no head. aroma toffee, fruits like apples,yeast, hints of green grapes and mixed nuts.flavor slighty fruity,, hints of alcohol, sour dough all were weak I think I let this one sit too long and got too warm. so I decided to try another one that was colder and the flavors did come out a little more this is a beer that you need to drink around the 45 degree range. another good one from the brewery

From the bottle with 2004 date on the lable. Cider like in apperance. Dark red(mahogony) with suspended particles. Just a ring of white bubbles consituted the head. Dark smelling. Nuts, some fruits, yeast. Lots of flavors in this one. Malts, a fruity kick(i am thinking grapes mainly) and just a touch of hops all mixed in to form a tasty brew.

Poured a hazy brown color with a small, off white head that left light lacing on the glass. Aroma of citrus fruits, grassy hops, grains, nuts, and some yeast as well. Taste of more citrus fruits, light caramel malts, some nuts, and a dry, yeasty finish.

12oz bottle acquired in trade with ClarkVV (thanks!). ’04 vintage. Poured a medium and cloudy amber color with an averaged sized of white head. Aromas of green apples, earthy, nutty, citrus and I also go a very light sulphur aroma. Tastes of citrus, nuts, yeast and some caramel. Lacing left on the glass.

Just had this at the GTMW this weekend and i guess they’re bringing it back. Pour is a dark brown with a nice tan head. Aroma was of dark malts and seom candi sugar. Flavor has some caramel and nuts with a bit of wood smoke. A good attempt at this style.
