Spicy and sweet melanoidiny aroma complemented by some spicy hops and a promise of bitterness. Slightly hazy copper with good lacing and a thin, but lasting, cover. Spicy melanoidins dominate the flavour, followed by some walnut and watermelon. A bit soda-watery but balanced by a mild bitterness. A bit thin in body, medium carbonation, nutty finish.

Apr 6, 2008 Bouteille 750ml. De couleur cuivrée rouge et très légèrement voilée. Nez malté de biscuits au miel, léger de caramel aux notes terreuses et rôties, moyen de houblon herbeux et aux faibles notes florales, légèrement boisé et avec des notes de noix. Moyenne-mince ronde en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et croustillant ainsi qu’une texture aux notes crémeuses et huileuses. Notes de levures fruitées (faibles notes de petits fruits) accompagné d’un léger goût de noix et de faibles traces de tabac lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute rapidement un goût de malt légèrement rôti, de biscuits (graham et notes de miel) avec des notes de caramel toffee terreux ainsi que des traces de pain. Parallèlement, l’on retrouve une moyenne amertume asséchante de houblon herbeux (herbes très fraîches) et aux notes florales jusqu’en finale, accompagné également de petites notes boisées (bois humide). Post-goût moyen et plutôt sec, moyennement amer de houblon herbeux avec des notes de rôti et de noix.

Dec 25, 2007 Dark brown, like a really interesting brown beer, witrh some head and yeasty and malty aroma. Some chocolate malt, definitely on the sweet side. Dr. Lexier’s birthday, 1/3. Easy drinking, simple dessert. Medium mouthfeel. A malt, primary, exercise.

Oct 25, 2007 Bottle shared with mds, HogTownHarry, blankboy and tupalev - mds’s bottle. Clear orange-amber with a small off-white head. Aroma is nice and malty, with some biscuit and toffee notes. Medium bodied. Flavour is full and balanced, with caramel malt and a very nice nuttiness, and hints of tobacco and coffee. Excellent.

Appearance :Dark copper with amber body , large creamy milk like crown on top, medium fine lacing .4+
Nose :Sweet aromatic noble hop aroma , meadow flower scent , soft gently sweeten caramel malts. Very neat but not entire alt like.7+
Flavour/Palate : Now we are talking. Medium full bodied caramel with strong nutty feel. Bitter feel at sides of Schumacher alt. This one is creamier softer in body. Middle smoothly enters similar finish. As aroma palate generously rewards us with pleasures. Dark woody tavern character of old Germany. Almost flawless, wished if it was bit more assertive in its alt character. Felt a bit too soft for my licking.
