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.

This is a very crisp,clean, drinkable beer. Not assertively flavorful, but not boring either. The alcohol is well hidden making this one very enjoyable. Got more than I expected out of this one.

(Bottle). Excellent offering. Deep brownish red in color. Thin beige head. Well balanced flavor, accentuated by lively hops. For the rest, the commercial description is right on target.

From a bottle poured a brown color with a good amount of head. Nice toasted malt flavor with a lingering aftertaste.

Tasted somewhere along my trip through the States.
Amber colored brew. Sweet, malty aroma. Flavor is sweet, fruity and a bit hoppy. Pretty decent, but not very exciting.

Draught, Redbones dubbed Victory "Limited." Deep amber red with pretty lacing. Grain and fruit-forward nose, lots of pie crust. Very fruity. Rotten fruits, metals, perfumes, some rubbing alcohol and soap, unfortunately. Not my thing.

A deep copper color with a bit of an reddish hue. The head was a light butterscotch color, about 2 fingers. The aroma is mostly caramel, but also has some vanilla, apricot, and a bit of spiciness. The flavor is very powerfully hopped up front. Some oaky bourbon characteristics and a noticeable alcohol. It has a pretty sweet toffee flavor and perhaps some cider, but the bitterness bookends those flavors. Just a little bit out of balance in my opinion. A full creamy body. Very nice.

Maybe the best alt I have ever had. Lightly metallic hops over lightly sweet malt. Perfect balance, a treat to drink.

Bottle. Pours a root beer brown with a full tan head. Aroma of toasted malts. Good carbonation feel on the palate. Alcohol presence is immediately felt. Full bodied yet quite drinkable ( I had four). Finishes crisp and clean. Overall, beer is unique in style and very tasty.
