Schlösser Alt

Brewed by Brauerei Schlösser (Oetker Group)
Style: Altbier
Düsseldorf, Germany

0.33 L bottle from Systembolaget. Clear, pale chestnut colored. Stable and dense, mediumsized offwhite head. Medium intensive, nutty, light bready malt aroma. Fairly dry except for a sweet-scented note of caramel. Taste is moderatly malty, lightly toasted with bread notes and faint caramel. Some tinned dark fruits and mild, earthy hops in the background. Body is light plus. Not watey, but a bit diluted mouthfeel. Finishes on the drier side, quite crisp actually.

Dark brown. Solid. Much like a Bayer lager. Malty and bitter but no excesses. Flavor of rye bread, baked apples and nuts. Enjoyable.

Very consisent beer. Nose had chalky earthy grains with a sweet malt whisp......and the palate was the exact same thing. Sugar cookies on the finish and a bit to coaty on the palate.

27th May 2008. Inoffensive Alt but to the point of blandness. Don’t know what to write other than a plain brown beer!

Bottle. Poured a dark reddish brown with a small white head, A very malty beer with some muted coffee flavour. An easy drinking German Alt that overall didn’t quite live up to my expectations.

Bottled:
Pours clear brown with a dense head. Malty, somewhat roasty aroma with notes of vegetables. Flavour is malt, cocoa and toffee. Grassy, somewhat metallic bitterness. Simple but well balanced.

Bottle. Clean beer with some classic and classy malt. I kind of liked this beer for it’s nice simplicity.

Bottle from Systembolaget. Pours hazel. Aroma of vegitables, nutts and malt. Very pure malty taste
