Apr 19, 2003 Reddish-brown. Aroma shows chocolate, hops, bread crust, nuts - just want you want in an alt, really. Chocolate malt leads to cocoa, bitter hoppiness, leaves, and earth. Light smokiness a sly wink at the blue haze that makes Zum Uerige one of the most toxic pubs I've ever set foot in?

Dec 5, 2004 Dark brown, light off-white head is rather small. Very hoppy nose, piney, green, citrusy and earthy. I can’t seem to find much else though. Salty hoppiness all the way through, lightly tart. Probably a bit too much for me and it makes it hard to analyze to have all those hops masking the rest. I feel the malt, but don’t taste it or is that a roasty hint in the finish? Light carbonation, comfortable light-medium body keeps me wishing for more.

Nov 18, 2003 Dark copper with a thick tan head. Fresh hoppy aroma has some caramel malt sweetness as well. Almost tastes more like a hoppy amber than an altbier. Finishes dry and bitter, but with some light chocolate notes. Pleasant fresh hoppy body has a touch of sourness, but goes down smooth. Not quite to style, but an enjoyable brew.

Jul 7, 2002 Updated: Dec 6, 2004Enchanting caramel malt glued to a lingering, green hop bitterness…Diligent, oily malt sends visions of fruit salads galore in a wooden German feast…A blessing of an altbier…

Feb 20, 2006 On draught at McNeills. Pours amber and hazy. Smells pretty hoppy with some rosey notes. Taste is somewhat sweet with some floral notes.

Feb 17, 2008 Tap at the brewpub. Deep brown-red beer with a very creamy tan head. The aroma is quite earthy and woody with a soft dark crackery maltiness. Quite clean smelling with a hint of sulfury yeastiness. Light herbal/spicy noble hop character on the back. Fairly assertive bitterness and clean yeast. Nice pint.

Mar 11, 2005 Brown color with a hint of copper coming out on the edges. Lid of dark cream bubbles. A hoppy version from the aroma. Toasty nut bread with a backdrop of light fruit and floral hops. Very balanced in that it is hard to pick out components, they all are there working together. German chocolate, with herbal, slightly grassy hops. If one fault the malt does not carry all the way out to the finish. I really must get back to Düsseldorf. Thanks Barry for the memories.
