Mar 18, 2005 07/04 12oz bottle bought in Warwick, RI. Glowing copper pour with fluffy, fading tan head. Crusty nose of crackers, burnt sugar, paprika(?), and clove. Flavor is boozy for an alt, thicker bodied, too. Nice stuff is spicey, filling, and a bit wintery. Nuts abound, and sweetness, and goodness. Grassy/peppery/lagery hop flavors linger.

Mar 14, 2005 Shining copper in color. Expressive nose, with hints of graham crackers, vanilla, caramel, toffee and whipped cream. Flavor brings a rich blend of malts with notes of brandy sprinkled fruit cake, nutmeg and caramel. The body is rich and creamy. A very good beer.

Mar 12, 2005 Copper color with a smaller ecru head. Full bodied with enough life to lift it off the palate. First aroma out of the bottle gave the impression of a waldorf salad, with blue cheese and pears. Later, nuts and marzipan and light brandied fruit cake. Flavors rich malty and full. Just enough bitterness to keep the sweetness in check. This get better the longer it sets an relaxes. Malt dances in and out with mild fruit, and herbal hops. Thanks for the two awesome alts Barry. A style I’ve always appreciated, but hard to come by.

Mar 2, 2005 Updated: Jul 26, 2005Really nice beer. If you’re looking for a quality ale that isn’t gonna cost a lot, try this one. The alcohol % adds a nice bite. Definitely getting more of this.

Feb 27, 2005 Poured a dark copper color with off white head. Aroma of mixed malt spice and hops. Tasted wonderful. Crisp, with some malts and hops, and pepper, but in a good way. smooth and creamy also. Nice finish. Got this in a trade, sorry, can’t recall exactly from who.

Feb 10, 2005 Poured a clear copper color with thin off white head. Aroma malty, fruity, some spice, and alcohol. Flavor starts a little sweet then moves to a long pepper and biiter hop finish. Semi-dry medium bodied.

Jan 31, 2005 I am not very familiar with the style, but was very pleased by the product. Hard for me to describe but the best word I can think of is smooth. Very full of flavor, and darker than I had expected. I was shocked to find that the beer was 7.2% after tasting it! The brew is just THAT smooth. I may be ranking this higher than it deserves, for not being familiar with Altbier, but I highly reccommend it and am looking forward to trying other altbier’s in the future!
