Crushed at BSAF 10. Got some sweet molasses, syrup on the nose with some chocolate. Flavor is a little bland, but with a hoppy finish. Complex and interesting, but unfortunately not very good.

Its funny that when you search for ctrl alt del, there are almost 10 different beer results for that name. And I was thinking Ft Collins had a unique name for their altbier. Draft at Avery Strong Ale Fest 2010. Pours amber with a small white head. Nose is mildly sweet, hops, vanilla, toast. Flavor of strong malts, some metal in the finish. I just want to go to Germany.

(Draught) Pours a clear copper body with a medium beige head. Aroma of caramel, nuts, and citrus. Flavor of nuts, caramel malt, and toasted grain with mild bitterness in the finish.

so this is their sticke or double altbier (which is pretty much barley wine). dark copper red colored body. very neutral and plain throughout - watery toasted vienna, munich and cara-pils malt, light hop aromatics (crusty, dried leaves) and light hop bitterness (crunchy stale leaves). unimpressive.
