| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 27, 2008 Pours a transparent dark copper amber with a clingy-lacing froth of light tan head. Aroma of sweet toasty dark caramely German malts with a mild noble hoppiness. Body starts with nice fullness and sweet malty flavor well-balanced with the perfect amount of bittering hops. Finishes semi-sweet and fairly crisp. Very true to style and enjoyable, but that is no surprise coming from this brewery. One of the best altbiers I have had. Cletus (5056), Connecticut, USA

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Nov 20, 2008 Slightly hazed, light copper color. Moderate beige head. Caramel, and toasted malt dominate the nose. A hint of dark cherries and herbal hops in the background pique the senses. An old world aroma. Crisp and light on the tongue. First thought after drinking is – interesting. Fruity, nutty, woody, malty, all seem to jump around. Hints of warmth in the finish and linger. A bittersweet linger with nuances of oak . Not quite what I expected, but this certainly qualifies as an authentic alt. Tmoney99 (4765), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA

Poured clear brown color with an average fizzy off-white head that was mostly lasting with good lacing. Moderate roasted caramel and tart citrus aroma. Medium body with a sticky texture and soft carbonation. Medium to heavy bittersweet flavor with a medium bittersweet finish of moderate to long duration.
My expectations where met with one of the top six active bottled beers for style.
