Feb 17, 2005 Updated: Feb 18, 2005Bottled: Poured caramelly red with a big off white, big-bubbled head. Aroma of roasted nuts and some wheaty-yeast. Flavor of roasted malts some hops with a slightly bitter finish. Palate was dry.

Feb 16, 2005 33 cl bottle. A small fine head tops the clear light maple body...thyme and hazelnuts vie with maple for prominence in the lovely, subtle nose...dry bitter herbs hit the front of the tongue, acidic nuttines reaches forward later and just a touch (just enough) brown sugary sweetness takes the edge off the dry bitterness at the finish.

Feb 15, 2005 Bottle. Head is initially average sized, frothy,
off-white, mostly lasting. Body is hazy medium to dark brown. Aroma is
moderately malty (toasted bread, caramel, roasted nuts), lightly hoppy
(herbs, flowers), lightly yeasty (dough), with notes of brown sugar,
raisin. Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly
sweet, moderately bitter. Medium body, velvety texture, lively
carbonation. Quite as-expected (i.e., like the regular Uerige alt, just
slightly bigger and richer). Hints at elements of doppelbocks and
Belgian brown ales. The higher malt content helps the finishing balance
compared to the standard alt. Very tasty, but falls short of exciting.

Feb 15, 2005 Thanks to matta for this one. Pours deep copper/ruby with medium frothy white head. Aroma of malt, nuts, cabernet. Tastes malty, nutty, with toffee and dark fruit. Smooth palate.

Feb 15, 2005 Pours a one-finger white head that quickly fades leaving no lace. Slightly cloudy amber color. Medium carbonation and medium bodied. Nose seems to be caramel. Starts and finishes with a balance of malts and hops but there is some sweetness hard to describe this - maybe a combination of a barley wine and a sweet stout for flavor, but it doesn’t look anything like a stout. $4 for a 330ml bottle from Colonial Spirits Acton, Ma.

Feb 12, 2005 Medium brown with a touch of haze, beige creamy head, good lacing. Malt and maple, earthy with floral hopping. Nearly a chewey malt with an earthy floral taste. Rich and thick, very tasty!

Feb 11, 2005 Bottle. Brown in color, not much head formation at all and minimal lacing left behind. Aroma is raisinish, perhaps a little molasses. Body seems a bit light, soft carbonation. Decent malt and nice hops in the finish. A bit sour. I am not that impressed with this, perhaps an oxidized bottle

Feb 7, 2005 Bottle dated 25/10. I’m spending my Super Bowl watching time enjoing this and <a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/uerige-alt/7836/ Alt. Have to say, this may be a bit over-hyped. Pours a foamy head; more settled than the UAlt. The malts are a bit smoother, like this has gotten some good aging in, and the hops have mellowed out, too, with bitterness only showing up in the aftertaste. There is a definite feel of more alcohol than the regular UAlt. I had expected something roasty or smoky, but couldn’t really catch it. May be flatter, or just supposed to me more subtle and mellowed.
