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.

Beautiful amber color. Aroma of caramel. Strong mouthfeel, strong taste of dark caramel, almost burnt sugar, molasses. Good and powerful, but the bitterness in the end is too strong.

Victory Ten Years Alt was an interesting Alt beer. It poured an almost brown colored body with an off white head. The aroma was pleasant with notes of spices, and malts. The taste was malty but with a notable smoky finish. This isn’t a bad alt but I didn’t enjoy the smoky finish in my alt.

Sweet malt and hops aroma with a faint earthy character. Dark copper in color with faint head. Sweet body, but a bit drier than the schwelmer purchased a week earlier.

Bottle: Dark amber or golden, but almost brown with the barest of heads. I swear this smells like pancake syrup. Super tangy ... damn near grapefruity, yet bready. Disappointing offering from Victory.

Cloudy mohogany color with an off-white head and a good amount of yeast settling at the bottom. Aroma is a mix of honey, nuts, and slightly sweetened bread. Taste is nutty, lightly sugared, and just a bit bitter from some floral hops. I really should have tried it in its prime, but this one still holds up

Bottle. I’ve been holding this one so I could compare it to the homebrew Alt that I made last year... This one wins! I wouldn’t consider this a normal alt, however... Much more of a caramel color than any others that I have had (most were darker brown) and also a good bit stronger and sweeter. This is hoppy like most Victory beers are and is quite a brew. I’m glad I saved this one. Nice creamy quality to this one and good carbonation bite. NIce beer
