The aroma has caramel malt, moderate amount of fruitiness and heavily toasted malt. Medium body with a bit of sharp carbonation that accentuates the flavor. The flavor starts with heavily toasted malt with smooth dry caramel. The finish is grainy, spicy and dry. Very enjoyable alt. (7/4/4/3/15 - 3.6) rerate for new reformulated improved version. There is not a lot to update from the original notes really, but it has been been redone and everything is better. I’d say this is easily the best US version of the style I’ve had (not that there are many). If you are in the STL area around my rerate date of this - go to the Tap Room and have it - very well done version. ¾ (4999), Colorado, USA

Flavor is a nice mix of hops and roasted malts that leaves a nice nutty aftertaste after the swallow. This could be one of the best Alt’s I have ever had. Terminus (1955), Las Cruces, New Mexico, USA
