May 8, 2006 Dark. Creamy. Kind of an odd beer. Missing that barleywine kick or that altbier taste...but trying for something like one or the other. I’ll need to try another or two before deciding for good...right now it’s ok. Didn’t live up to the hype.

May 3, 2006 (Bottle) Pours a dark brown body with a small creamy beige head. Aroma of nuts, toffee, vinous, cocoa, and cookie dough. Flavor of toasted malt and licorice with some sourness in the finish.

Mar 26, 2006 Pours a very dark practically opaque with a short-lived tan head that subsides into a thin ring. Aroma of sweet dark caramel and milk chocolate with some German bready yeasty character and noble hops. Body starts with a full, heavily carbonated caramel malty sweetness turning more bitter and dry toward the mildly earthy bittersweet finish. Fairly true to style and a nice altbier.

Jan 28, 2006 From a 12 oz. long neck brown bottle with a blurb about the beer on the neck wrapping and info on the side of the front label and a coded bottled/lot/package date and number on the shoulder of bottle, bottled or package on 12/8/05. Made a decent appearance, poured an semi-opaque dark coffee brown with an off-white head that left behind thin rings of sticking. Had largely a clean aroma, chocolate/caramel malty and a light graininess. Moderate carbonation and a smooth, lightly creamy mouth feel, good drinkability. Had a dark malty taste, a mix of chocolate and coffee, a very light sweetness, a slight alcohol presence, a mild soft hop bitterness in the middle and a semi-dry finish.

Dec 21, 2005 Pours smooth, dark. Nice thin layer of head that fades quickly. Damn near opaque like guinness. Aroma of candy, bread. Little plum maybe? Taste: YUM, schell, this is your best beer. You’re hurting yourselves with that weak snowstorm this year, "dusseldorf alt"? no no no... but this.. robust, some coffee, dark chocolate, put well by roder_60 as a "sour/bitter/dry finish". Give this a try!
