Nov 30, 2005 Cloudy amber color,medium sized white head that had a decent hangtime then faded slowly to leave a bit of a lcae behind.The aroma was malty and nicely hoppy with a slight citrusy side to it.I have a cold so it’s hard to tell.malty caramel flavor with a nice hop presence and over all not bad at all.Fairly well balanced and smooth,i could go for a few more of these.

Dec 6, 2005 bottle-thanks whaleman for the recomendation! pours copper with a small soapy off-white head and sparse lacing. aromatically, this beer has alot of complexity for the style-carmel, cheeries, fresh cut wood, toasty maltness, some faint cinammon, and spice chracacter with some nice chocolate notes. nice body-full and slick. flavors are very malty, chocolate, light bitterness from some earthy hops. very nice and probably the best alt i have ever had!

Jun 1, 2004 Darker than I expected, tea-colored, dark brown-red. Head is light brown. Good malty nose, nice toffee, bit of raisin character as well. Nice palate, full and creamy, not quite enough carbonation but still works quite well in the mouth. Great malty character, bit nutty, lots of toffee and butterscotch. Hops come on at end, good toasty bitters. Darn good stuff.

Feb 7, 2006 Bottled Jan 31, and it wasn’t 2006. I think this one might have passed. Copper body with almost no head. Aroma has malty notes of caramel, bread and also some grass. Not impressive at all though, seems timid. Flavor is even worse, flat, stale, just... blah. I’ll rerate it if I can find a fresh bottle, it’s probably pretty good.

Jul 22, 2007 11.2 oz bottle, bottled on 11/25/06 I assume. Poured a murky light brown with some orange notes. Small off white head that disappeared quickly. Big malt aroma with some caramel. Flavor is mostly malt with some caramel and a small touch of chocolate. Maybe a little coffee too. Bitter finish. Good.

Jan 28, 2009 2002 bottle courtesy of retorp.
Pours clear brown with thin white head.
Aroma is fruity and has a damn enjoyable sugary nose.
Taste malty, caramel with a light hoppy mouthfeel reminding me of a pilsner. Light touch of dark fruits - cherry -
A fine Altbier

Apr 12, 2009 On tap at Brick Store Pub, Decatur Georgia. Caramel colored pour. Malty, biscuity aroma. Taste was underwhelming but clean. Caramel malts, some fruitiness. Balanced but not terribly exciting

I have to admit, I’m a bit of a "bottle whore" and that’s what attracted me to this beer... a well crafted and unique swing-top with sparse labels and a healthy dose of raised lettering in the glass, including a line of braille at the bottom! Excellent!
Appearance was an almost-mahogany body, slightly hazed with a creamy, little head. Aromas were well malted with raisin, honey & caramel over grains and earthiness... an overall impression of a sweet breakfast cereal. Nicely balanced flavors with sweet malts proving dominance. Smooth and slightly thick on the tongue with a touch of alcohol at the end that made me smile. Quite delicious. Hoping to find a bigger bottle.
