3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Tap at Das Bierhaus on Nov. 18, 2011. Renamed as Alter Ego. Clear mahogany pour with a soapy white head. Caramel malt, some hops, and a dry finish. Not bad.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
On tap at Das Bierhaus. Clear mahogany with a thin tan head. Aroma of dark malts, caramel, light fruit and faint chocolate. Taste of caramel, chocolate, light nuts and a touch of floralness. Finished up semi-dry with nominal bitterness.
1.7 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 6/20
I tried this as part of the sampler tray on the way down to Madison for the GTMW event. I must be pretty sensitive to diacetyl compared to others, because it really took over this beer. Amber red pour. Biscuity flavor, and obviously the buttery touch of a diacetyl bomb. Pretty gross; I’m glad I didn’t order this in a pint size.
3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Small pour (approx. 3 or 4 oz.), on tap at the brewpub. Consumed on 8-7-09. Caramel, buttery aroma. Diacetyl noticeable in smell (especially) and taste, but I am far less averse to diacetyl than most. Pours a clear amber/brown with beige head. Malty flavor features muffin taste and hops dryness in the finish. Light body. Soft, fluffy, and lively in the palate with some crispness.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
A style that i feel is often overlooked at breweries. Maybe because the industry finds it boring? Not sure, whatever it is- this beer was fantastic. Clear mahogany, bright in every aspect. Bright fruits, like apple with a hint of fig. Caramel undertones are soft. Aroma was pleasent, a funny cinnamon and pepper smell. Another winner from Das Bierhaus.

Danke schön to Skyview for sharing this growler! The bier was clear brown with thick white foam. In the aroma there was malt and grains. There was a lot of malt in the flavor along with a mild smokiness. Dry finish. Another excellent beer from Das Bierhaus. Wunderbar!

Thanks to skyview for this sample. A fantastic altbier. Amber color with a nutty roasted malt aroma. Smooth caramel malts with a lightly roasted character.

Thanks to Skyview for another growler from this awesome German-style brewery. Good malt aroma. Some salt in the flavor, more malt, crackers and bread. Medium palate and light red color. A success. Thanks Bob.
