I struggled to find fault with this beer, but have to stick with the high numbers, as it was just fabulous and is from one of my favorite styles of beer. The aroma was malty, caramel, nuts, although not easy to pick up. I thought I detected a touch of bubblegum too. The appearance was beautiful, pouring as pretty as any altbier, light copper color with a nice fluffy head, and superb lacing on the way down. Flavor was tilted more to the malty side than Uerige of Fucshcen, but as with any fine alt, still with some display of the hoppy bitter balance. Touches of nuts were behind a fruitiness that was quite pleasant. Wood barrells easily detectable and very pleasant in the flavor. Mouthfeel was perfect, smooth, tilted a touch to the moderately heavy side for the style. I had to stop after 3 of these only to save some steam for the next two stops of the night, but if you hit Im Schlussel in Dusseldorf and nothing else, you’ve done just fine. I’m glad to have finally hit this one on my fifth or six trip to the area.

does not count Jul 23, 2008 It’s a MUST to check out the Schlüssel Brewery in the center of the Dusseldorf "Altstadt" (old-Town). To me the best Beer in Dusseldorf.

Jun 25, 2008 500 ml fliptop bottle: :finally my Trink Gut had an 8 pack of this. Just one. I snatched it up. Poured Amber brown with a thick off white head. Malty aroma with bread notes and light hops. Flavor is malty, light hops, light sweetness. Mild bitterness in the finish. Almost reminded me of a Belgian. Very good.

does not count Jun 18, 2008 It is a dark beer with a sweet aroma and finishes bitter but very enjoyable. It’s a beer anyone will like because of it’s lightnes yet herb flavour.
Great Job!
