Sep 20, 2005 Pours a nice deep brown with a decent amount of foamy tan head. Looks yummy. Aroma is chocolately, creamy milk, with slight sour and tart fruit notes. Flavor is very very pleasant and well rounded. Roasted chocolately malt with a sour/bitter/dry finish and almost a buttery undertone. Overall, I found this to be schell’s best I’ve tried so far. Great beer!

Sep 14, 2005 Updated: Jun 28, 2006This is a new beer for me. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a very dark brown color with a small tan head. The aroma is strong chocolate and what I can only describe as artificial blueberry. The flavor is rich and malty with sour chocolate, ripe fruit and a flowery hop finish. Interesting. I will probably come back to this beer again sometime.

May 18, 2005 Even though this really isn’t an "alt" but more of a porter, I don’t understand the low scores. This beauty is rich and creamy and very malty. Please if you’ve reviewed this beer in the past, try it again, I think with an open mind you may really like this beer

May 18, 2005 Thanks to Grainbeltguzzler for the bottle. Ruby brown color, white effervescent head dissapates quickly. Caramely malt aroma with a deep hop spiciness behind it. Slightly fruity ester nose, rich caramel flavors. Finish is slightly nutty with residual hop spiciness. Mouthfeel is rather smooth for being an alt.

Apr 12, 2005 Very dark for the style. Roasty and a bit fruity for smell. Chocolate and slight nuts. This beer is good in flavor but lacks the bready fell of an alt. Aftertaste subsides rather quickly. Smooth malts but this is pushing to a porter.

Apr 9, 2005 Rich brown color with a thick, frothy head. Aroma is real light with just some malt. Taste is some chocolate malts but very mild. Slightly sweet with medium carbonation. Head settles fast. I didn’t care for this too much.

Apr 6, 2005 Transparent brown body, somewhat sticky cream head. Fruity, chocolatey aromas. Smooth chocolatey, toasty flavors with a hint of licorice and solid bittering. Reasonably good.
