Oct 21, 2008 Hazy golden orange brown color with a finger of off white head. Nutty, fruity, yeasty breadiness and malt. Body is heavy malts, more plums and almond nuttiness. Then a slight bitter finish.

Oct 18, 2008 Bottle. Dark hazy brown pour with a bit of floating sediment. The date indicated this bottle was at least a year old. Fluffy off white head and great lacing. German hops and malty caramel on the nose and tongue. Dirty/earthy notes. Bitter finish. Not as sweet as I expected. Certainly quite different from the Doppel Sticke.

Oct 9, 2008 [Bottled on 27.10] Pours a murky dark amber with a with a small but thick creamy off-white frothy head. Grassy aroma with notes of oxidized malt. Grassy and earthy flavors, light chewy toasted crystal malt, faintly nutty, a bit of toffee. Unusually sweet in that its overall a dry beer. Medium body, sugary and a bit gritty, with soft fluffy carbonation. I like the doppel-sticke but I think this bottle is probably a bit past its prime.

Oct 3, 2008 Funky cool bottle. Took a while to figure out whether this was the Sticke or the Alt... but the Uerige website was helpful. Pour is a medium brown with a fairly large head at first (almost a light brown color) but it has all but died in the time it took me to figure out which beer this was. Aromas are earthy, with sweetness that is brown sugar and dates. Flavor is odd... I expected things to be sweet from the aroma, but there is a sharp bitter edge throughout, and the finish is especially jagged. Allmost comes off as peat on the finish. This is an odd beer that just doesn’t work for me.

Aug 28, 2008 Cloudy dark brown with a thin off-white head. Pleasantly earthy hop aroma. taste is malty with a strong undercurrent of bitterness and a dark, spicy hop finish. Very earthy and solid. Very tasty.

Jul 28, 2008 Pop top bottle- Amber brown pour with a tan foam head. Aroma of brown sugar, dark fruits, caramel. Smooth on the palate and malty but with a bit of a dry aftertaste and tinge of bitters. Good Alt and good flavor, a little bitter and earthy on the back end.

Jul 28, 2008 Bottle shared by the_Captain. ver complex aroma of brown sugar, malt, dark fruit and b yeast. Didn’t really taste like it smelled but got better as it got warmer. Nice hazy brown color with an off white creamy head. tasted like brown sugar and grass or earthy notes. My only complaint was that it was very very dry. Kind of reminded me of an English bitter but very dry finish. Good brew though.

Jul 28, 2008 Bottle shared by The_Captain. Thanks Mark. Pours hazy brown with a foamy tan head. Smells of dough, caramel, brown sugar, dark fruit. After smelling it I was expecting a rich, complex flavor but all I really tasted was an earthy bitter dough flavor. It was good, just not as amazing as I was expecting after reading reviews of it.
