3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
This is a decent session ale. I noticed a licorice nuance along with a bready, yeasty flavor. It's got a relatively light body that won't fill you up.

Nice, mellow, easy-drinking beer. Clean continental ale yeast mixed w/pils malt base and munich/dark malt toast. You can drink a lot of these and feel good about it.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Robust amber body. Slightly nutty taste. If you like ESB's you should like this. Reminds me of Redhook's excellent ESB. A fine example will by again.

Full amber body with an extra thick puffy, mountain head, this brew was quite similar to a dunkel or dark lager ala San Miguel Dark Lager. The aroma was like a dunkel malt, but crescendoed into a sugary maltiness well balanced by a more robust/nutty backbone. Clean bodied with nuttyish malts taking form make this an easy going, malty beer enjoyable for all occassions.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Medium chestnut colored, thin head, lots of carbonation. Earthy malt and nutty aroma, like a cross between a dunkel and an English brown. Hazelnut and roasty malt flavors are quite distinctive, and intercepted by an adequate bitterness, touch of sourness. Light bodied, not as fizzy as expected, with a lingering finish. My first of the style, and I quite enjoyed it.

just tried this flat,boring beer on tap last night, very little head, no carbonation, and a rather bland taste makes for a real stiff!

Not bad, but not great either. No off flavors. I’m starting to think that I may not be a big fan of alt beer. I found this in bottle form in the States. Maybe I need to try it fresh on draft in Germany.

liked this 6 years ago but had it again in duesseldorf on the same day as many quality alts and it paled in comparison
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bitter musty flavor,thick consistancy,head is tan and thick then quickly diminishing,extremely dry,aftertaste is pretty bad.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Good hoppy character and nice maltiness, though less sweet/nutty than Diebels. Foamy off-white head, lacing, atop brownish-red dark beer. Medium-low carb with medium watery body. Malty, but more hoppy than others. Dry, papery taste. Light nuttiness in finish and after, with a bit of honey/vanilla. Pretty good altbier.
