Schwelmer Alt

Bottle. Dark brown colour with a beige head. Aroma is malt, caramel, dried fruits. Flavour is malt, caramel, dried fruits, hop. Medium body. Boring beer.

Bottle. It’s a clear, dark brown beer with a diminishing, creamy, two-finger beige head. Caramel, dried fruits and some faint notes of cellar in the aroma. Nice but a bit weak. Dried fruits, raisins mostly, caramel and roasted notes in the mouth. Silky, medium body. Caramel in the finish. Overall it’s a quite decent beer, caramel driven, but not very interesting. Get’s a bit one-dimensional. 090707

I did not have my beer out of the swing-top bottle, but instead it was out of the stubby bottle. Body was a medium-dark brown cloudy color with a scan off-white head. Aroma is mostly caramel malts with a thin dark fruit character. Body is a touch off with a watered down raisin/caramel flavor. Nothing really special about this one.

Swingtop 0,5ltr: An good decent tasty Altbier with its dark brown colour with hints of caramel.

Bottle. Pours an amber body with an off white head one finger thick. Malty caramel with some graininess, citrus accents and light fruity esters. A dry malt character and a thin lingering bitterness to boot.

Bottle, not bad altbier, taste is caramel with bitter aftertaste, pretty good, but will try something else next time
