Nov 5, 2009 Pours a hazy brownish red ting with a big fluffy Uerige style head. The aroma is of coffee, milk chocolate, light caramel, and some herbal hops. The flavor is nicely hoppy (noble of course) with some mild but pleasant mineral character and a good roastiness. The beer is largely dry with little hints of caramel sweetness. I think I like this just slightly less than the regular alt, but I rated them the same so perhaps a side by side is warranted.

Oct 12, 2009 Bottle. Deep amber to brown. Perfumy, fruity aroma. Nuts and bananas. Belgian notes galore. Dry, sourish taste. Hints of apple. Not the most sharp and fresh beer aroud, but more like a mediocre hombrebrew. Probably not the freshest hops in this one.

Sep 12, 2009 Serving: 330 ml bottle.
Appearance: Orange-brown with a large, rocky, off-white head. Great head retention.
Aroma: A little fruity from the hops, nuts and grain notes from the malt. Fairly mild overall.
Taste:Grainy with notes of caramel malt, light fruit notes, and perhaps a touch of wood.
Palate: Medium carbonation with a light, dry mouthfeel and a medium-short finish.
Overall: I was told this is pretty much a dead on alt. If so, I am a fan. I found this one to be quite drinkable and would definitely recommend giving it a go.

Aug 31, 2009 Dark brown pour with a small white head. Aroma holds some definite fruity esters, grain and wheat malt, and some nuttiness, especially almonds. Flavor has lots of dry malt, grain, almond, hazelnut, and a bit of caramel. The fruitiness provides an interesting second layer to the overall character of the taste. Palate isn’t thick, but the flavor lingers very nicely, and the finish is pretty dry. A good brew.
