Thick head but it faded very fast, aroma is carmel, deep ruby color. I thought it would be way to carbonated, but it wasn't too bad at all. As far as actual flavor, slightly bitter, but not too bad at all. Just a slighty above average beer, but I also havn't head any other altbiers to compare to it.

Amber with a ruby tint. Smaller tan head. Carmelized malts dominate the nose. Fairly light in body, but smooth with a touch of carbonation zip. Touch of zest distracts form the malt. Too much bitterness for style.

This is an unusual twist on the alt style, IMHO. It’s an extremely roasty, chocolatey altbier that’s heavy on some nice malt and possesses solid hop balance. Very enjoyable.

This beer has dark roasty and doughy malt flavors balanced with a long and hearty bitterness. I’d say the roast flavors more resemble charcoal than coffee or chocolate. This is a unique brew.
