Aug 18, 2007 A beautiful deep ruby color that I shall not soon forgot. Dark cherries, milk chocolate, nuts and oranges jump out of the nose. Very smooth, if underwhleming for hops, mouth, that shows signs of cherries, chocolate and earth. A bit thin, though for its size, it is quit unbeliveable. Dry finish.

Aug 15, 2007 Poured rootbeer color with little head. Aroma was next to non-existant. Taste was semi earthy malt,nut,mild roast in the middle with a slightly dry/dust finish. Sounds like it sucks but it is actually not bad. Just a bit watery. Better than my rating but the lack of aroma for me was drawback.Decent lacing tho.

Aug 12, 2007 Just a faint chocolate aroma coming from this one. It pours a very dark mahogany with hints of red when held up to light. It has about a half finger of tan head. Somewhat disappointed with the taste. Strong bread/toast malt flavors, and very little hops tasted. Drinkable, but if I had to pick up something from Two Brothers, the Cain and Ebel would win hands down.

Aug 3, 2007 This bottled brew from a bottle shop poured a small sized head of foamy fine to medium sized light brown colored bubbles that were mostly lasting and left behind a transparent typically carbonated red brown colored body and a good lacing. The mild aroma was malty and dirty. The mouth feel was tingly at the start and at the finish. The strong flavor contained notes of malt hops sweet caramel and brown malt. A decent one that I would consider buying again. I think this is this best brew I have ever had from Two Brothers BC.

Jul 31, 2007 Pours a darker copper color with a light tan head. Aroma is slightly nutty with roasted malts, caramel, dark fruits, chocolate, and floral hops. Flavor has a strong nutty flavor with roasted malts and chocolate up front. Finishes with some floral hoppiness and slightly dry. Good but not great.

Jul 30, 2007 22 oz bottle from Binny’s downtown, Chicago IL. Pour is a dark brown with a nice frothy khaki head. Aroma is nutty roast and some sweetness. Taste is initially somewhere between roasty and smoky. Middle has nice caramel sweet malt body and a clean, crisp bitter finish. A very light body that went down very smooth with sausage pasta. I have had very few Altbiers in my days, so no idea what they are supposed to taste like. Regardless, I found this one incredibly drinkable and quite delicious. Cheers Victor.
