Voo Doo Alt-on tap-pours a light tan head and copper color. Aroma is tart, medium malt-some chocolate. Taste is tart, medium malt-some chocolate. Thin mouth feel.

An average beer which is a little off for an alt. More of a limp brown ale. Damp malt and a bit watery. Yet, still drinkable thanks to their food!

Dark amber and red, thin white creamy head. Not my favorite aroma with notes of chocolate, earth, dirt, and some toffee. Spicy floral hops do show up to balance out the earthy chocolate flavors. Light to medium bodied, soft carbonation, dull sahara dry finish. Definitely not their best effort here....

UPDATED: MAY 25, 2004 Out of a growler from the brewpub courtesy of a homebrewclub friend. Dark red color. good malt flavor, balanced with a good dose of hops. Nice hop/malt aroma. Clean.
