COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
A smooth, well-balanced ale brewed with pure water, malts, hops, and yeast and then cold conditioned in the tradition of a classic German Altbier. The drinkable nature of this beer and the roasted chocolate and coffee notes present in this beer make it a wonderfully warming beer. A subtle malt sweetness, distinctive German hops aroma and taste, and subtle roasted finish make this one of our favorite styles of beer.

12oz bottle. Poured a dark and deep orange color with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of light chocolate, roasted malts, and some caramel. Tastes of chocolate, caramel, toasted nuts, and very light coffee. Creamy body.

Aggie80 (740) - Michigan, USA - MAR 27, 2005
Dark Cola color pour, little head and some lacing. Nice roasted flavor to the malt without being overpowering. The aftertaste is a bit on the hoppy side, but fairly decent all around

Pour is a deep and dark red with almost no head. Aroma is very nice! Lots of roasted chocolate to go around. Flavor is a tastes like plum and raisin juice with a roasted backbone. Smells good, tastes good, I like it!

Pailhead (3326) - Plymouth, Michigan, USA - MAR 5, 2005
Bottle: Nice aroma. Very malty with lots of chocolate and toffee. Real reddish-brown with a small off-white head that is short lasting. Very sweet up front. Finishes with lots of chocolate and toffee just like the aroma but also some roastiness. The initial sweetness slowly changes to a tartness in the finish.

YourDarkLord (1800) - Urbana, Illinois, USA - NOV 23, 2004
Nothing exceptional. Pours dark amber with a fleeting beige head. Nose has smoke, soy sauce, anise. Light bodied. Flavor was interesting. Unusual, perhaps, is better. Complex yet not special.

badgerben (4092) - Blaine, Minnesota, USA - AUG 11, 2004
Dark copper color with zilch head. Aroma was pretty dull with nothing really noticeable but a trace of smoke. Little bits of hops and malt in the taste. How is this an alt? It tastes like... nothing.

PorterPounder (3944) - Tallahassee, Florida, USA - AUG 4, 2004
Poured from the bottle at Chocolate Moose, Ely, Minnesota - great place. Dark copper color, decent sized off-white head; good thick lacing. Flavor has elements of dates and raisins with just enough hop bitterness to keep it balanced and interesting. Aroma has elements of caramel and toffee. Damn good alt.

Brown Coloring. Small Head. Kind of Watery.. Smooth. Little bit of Chocolate and Some Roasts...But Pretty Resigned in Flavor Overall.
