Nov 3, 2009 Pours a hazy, golden brown with a tint of orange. Aggressive pour gives minimal head, snow white with large bubbles. Moderate staying power. Malty nose. Not much in the aroma. Very malty body. Hint of bitterness at the end. Not very complex, but tasty. Medium on the palate. Carbonation laid back and fits the style nicely.

Oct 31, 2009 Had this at Bridgewater’s Pub at Amtrak Station in Philadelphia. Served with a small off white head that persisted and good lace. Color was a medium coppery amber. Aroma is caramel, toffee, malt, and a bit of hop. Flavor was same but sweet up front and a bitter end. Good body and carbonation. Short finish. Very drinkable. Session beer.

Oct 20, 2009 22 oz bottle from Supreme Liquors, Cambridge MA. Dark amber colour with a slight haze. Not much head. Malty aroma - fruity and a little "fat". Some caramel. Toffee and fruity "malt loaf" flavour. Fair amount of soft hops. Also some raisins. Somewhat slick mouthfeel. Slightly sticky and distinctly bitter at the same time. Bittersweet finish with the bitterness lingering longer than the sweetness in the aftertaste. Warming, but not too hot, alcohol. Not really like a traditional altbier - more like an altbier/bock hybrid. I like it.

Oct 9, 2009 Bottle: Deep copper amber with a dense light tan head. Richly malty aroma offering a toffeeish note, dark fruit (raisin/plum). Almost like a well done authentic doppelbock. Rich fluffy dense carbonation in the body. The fore flavor displays rich dark German malts- toffee, mild raisin and a hint of fig. The middle is more toasted and dries out then comes the mildly peppery noble hops. Rich yet well attenuated and textured. Nice take on the style. (In my six pack only a couple of bottles had some diacetyl, but overall it’s still solid).

Oct 8, 2009 Pour is a reddish amber with an off white head. Aroma is sweet caramel malts and a bit of light fruiting. Flavor is toasty with some nut and some plum fruit. Mostly dark caramel malt, but some depth to it. Not bad at all. In fact, pretty good.
