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.

On tap, pours a mahogany color with a thin head. The aroma is very fruity and the taste is very malty with nuts, slight citrus, caramel, and fruits. It is a pretty sweet beer that could be a little well balanced with the hops at teh end, but overall is very drinkable.

Dark copper color with a thin head. Syrupy aroma with an assortment of mixed nuts and a grassy finish. Oddly fruity taste with dry pear and apple standing out on top of a dry malt body with some slight roasts. Almost some salt on the finish.

Some chocolately, cocoa-caramel in the flavor. Very dry, and ashy, with a fairly high mineral content. Well-rounded, slightly bitter finish due to a surprising dose of hops. Something like hazelnuts too in the flavor.

Bottle. Nice hazy amber color, sweet malty aroma with a touch of hoppiness. Excellent and well-balanced flavor between malts and hops -- nothing is overpowering. Smooth, mildly carbonated mouthfeel; perfect for this ale. I grabbed this one at the store when I really needed something to cheer me up, and it definitely did the trick. Another superb ale from Victory!

Bottle. Pours deep amber with a minimal-one finger thick white head. Aroma of hops, citrus, caramel. Flavor is bitter, citrusy, slight fruit notes, sweet upfront. Not bad, but not the best Victory beer.

Dark red with a small white head. Pleasant malty aroma. Smooth and delishous. Not a hint of the alochol. A very good beer, if not a normal alt.

This was a very dry beer but also pretty decent. I had it on tap, so perhaps that differs somewhat from the bottle, but overall, nice appearance, aroma, and flavor. Give it a try.

Bottle Pours a muddy dark amber with a small light tan head. The head is fizzy and deinishing. Has a good malty aroma but seems well balanced with a nice touch of hops. Has an alcoholic texture. A little bit above light bodied. Its very well carbinated. Has a good duration. This beer produces a nice finish. Has a good bitter kick to it. A good beer to celebrate Victory’s ten years.
