Aug 23, 2004 Updated: Aug 27, 2004Deep glowing brown color, almost cola-like with a minimal tan head that settles into an off white ring at the top of the glass. The aroma is like toasted mashmallows.
Caramel flavor with just a touch of bitterness in the finish. Light bodied with a medium mouthfeel. An easy drinking brew.

Aug 15, 2004 Cloudy orange-brown/dark copper coloured…wild aroma of fresh herbs, honey, whole toasted grains and sweet sticky malt. Slightly spicy flavour – a bit of pepper and bitter hop flowers. Wonderful tight carbonation, flavourful body with figs, buttered toast, almonds and wheat. Nice long finish…

Aug 13, 2004 Had some of the rare kegged version brought to the US in April. Was oxidized but better than not available. This beer is definitely a souped up version of the standard. Perhaps the bitterness and malt was a little less balanced in this version, but I was still able to drink down lots of glasses. I wouldn’t make the special trip to the Altstadt for this one. I’d sticke with the original.

Aug 9, 2004 This dark amber altbier pours with very little head and elicits very little aroma. However, it is a fine example of the style, with a slightly bitter and very satisfying caramel malt flavor. If you ever get to Dusseldorf, stop by Zum Uerige and try their home-made sausage, which complements their beer very nicely.

Jul 29, 2004 Pours a hazy brownish copper with a slightly nice foamy off white head. Aroma is of roasted malts with a nice touch of hops. Flavour is malty at first, but the extra dose of hops dry this out and make it a pleasure to drink. Great stuff.

Jul 26, 2004 I didn’t like it at all, and I don’t think I can properly describe the displeasure I had while drinking it, so I won’t try. A sickly-sweet syrupy mess.

Jul 25, 2004 Slightly hazy copper body with a thick, fluffy off-white head that produces very interesting rocky formations. Malty aroma with whole grains, nuts, light, earthy hops, a little caramel (or is it toffee?) and a touch of vanilla. The body is hefty enough to handle the surprisingly big flavors. Nice, smooth and lightly sweet malt character is followed immediately by strong, bitter hops that show all sorts of greatness. Some pine character and a little citrus, but the largest piece is influenced by earthy, plant-like hops. Great flavor with a huge hop presence. While it does seem to be at it’s freshest, it’s still damn good. When fresh, this must be amazing.
