Aug 23, 2006 The first beer in my quest to give lower ratings so as to expand my rating range. This was a tasty brew, mellow, strong malts and a minty, hoppy but not bitter aftertaste. Went down smooth, though with a powerful alcohol kick. Pretty rich in the malt arena, though not sweet, with nice complexity. A very good beer.

Aug 19, 2006 draught: My first altbier so I don’t know what its flavor chacteristics are, but I really liked this beer. aroma of dark malts and spicy hops up front. The beer was served in a chalice with a nice half an inch of head, that laced like no other. Flavor was great. Rich roasted malt with a balance of spicy hops. Palate was rather full and slightly oily. I wish that I had some more of this stuff. Cheers.

Aug 17, 2006 (Bottle 35,5 cl) Slightly hazy amber golden with an off-white head. Aroma of caramel and aroma hops. Fairly full body with lots of caramel malt and a very bitter finish. But Altbier? At 8.5% ABV?? No way. 160806

Aug 14, 2006 Alts are hard to come by in my neck of the woods so I was mighty happy to find this brew. From a bottle, this pours a clear, dark amber with ruby edges. Minimal off-white head. Aroma is full of yeasty baked bread & a nice whiff of spicy hops. First taste is caramelly, nutty malt. Finish is long, dominated by peppery hops that provide a pleasant lingering bitterness.<!-- br --><!-- br --> What do you get when you cross a Marzen with an ESB? I don’t know but I’ll bet it would be pretty close to this very nice brew.

Aug 12, 2006 bottle. Pours a hazy light brown. medium carbonation on this beer. The aroma is of earthy, resinous hops, but with alot of sweet malt also. Taste is malty, slightly fruity, some apples, and just enough flavor hops to balance the beer out well without making it too bitter for an alt.

Aug 10, 2006 [Bottled, thanks chris_o!] Amber colour. Ashy nose. Sweetish with clean, rounded mouthfeel and medium body. Finishes with some salty licorice. A bit shallow in character.
