Commercial Description:
The Victory version of this ‘secret’ offering is inspired by the rich brewing heritage of the alt beers. It is a dark ale exhibiting the love of hops and mastery of malt that Victory has displayed for 10 years. Initially assertive with spicy hops, Ten Years Alt concludes ever so comfortably in rich, roasted malts and burnished hop character.

Pours a very hazy yellow/brown with very little head. Aroma is quite dry, with a cereal malty base and very bright, fresh, grassy hop notes. Flavor is more subdued than the aroma, somewhat watery while a bit sweet and then following with the hops. Palate is also a bit watery, and the carbonation is a bit too harsh as well. A decent beer that is more interesting to smell than it is to drink.

12 fl oz bottle, courtesy of Ungstrup. Pours almost clear and golden orange with a a small off-white head. Aroma is dry malty and somewhat oxidised. Subdued sweet and slight hoppy flavoured. Caramel and slight spiced flavoured. Ends dry and malty.

Bottled. Slightly hazy amber coloured. Malty and bready aroma. Sweetish malty flavour. Medium bodied. Doesn’t taste like 8,5%.

Bottle. Pours red-brown with a nice creamy head and ample lacing. Aroma of caramel and wintry spice. Flavor starts earthy, but is quickly lightened with spice (nutmeg, clove) and soapy hops. Palate stays creamy throughout, coating your mouth with goodness. Finishes long, earthy, roasted and slightly bitter. Excellent for an Alt.

Enjoyed via 12oz bottle. The nose is one of strong maltiness. Appearance is dark brown in color, with a light tan head. Flavor is highly malty, almost similar to a doppelbock. The finish is sweet, but not overly so. A classic interpretation of a traditional style.

pours an brownish-orange color reminiscent of iced tea. nice light tan thick head with great retention and lacing. aroma had notes of caramel, citrus, wheat, and alcohol. flavor is spicier than i anticpated with nice caramel backing. mutfeel is silky and the finish is very dry and lingering with a warming effect. I enjoyed this more than i expected.
