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 to a deep caramel color with a quickly dissapaiting head. The aroma is faint, sweet and yeast like. The taste is very good, well balanced between hops and malt. The finish is bitte, with a very nice dose of hops. Another solid brew from victory.

12 oz. bottle courtesy of Summer Secret Santa. Pours a hazy amber brown with a moderate off-white head that lasted through mid-glass and left very light lace. Mild aroma of malt with just a few notes of hops as well. The flavor is very malty up front. The malt is not sweet though, and lacks depth. This is followed by some restrained hops that provide a dry finish and very little bitterness. There is an odd copper flavor towards the finish as well. Probably not something I would come back to.

Bottle. Caramel-sweet nose with some strawberry and raspberry fruit character. Clear pale red, thin head. Flavor opens sweet and estery, finished a bit harsh but with nice fruit esters. Gets more harsh as it warms.

Pours a dark amber color with an off white head. Aroma is very malty but with some hop undertones mixed in. Flavor is also very malty, but well balanced by the hops, nice dry crisp finish. The only complaint is a slight coppery taste. Nothing the stands out here but very drinkable, hides the alcohol well, and has a nice price.

Top notch stuff. Nice sweet malty aroma with a sweet malty taste but followed by a nice hop kick. Finish is crisp and dry. I would never have guessed the ABV as it is very well hidden however there is a nice glow after a couple
