3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
On Tap @ Brewpub in Düsseldorf, Germany. Probably shouldn’t have had a bier since I am sick but well, I was feeling really good this day. This was an excellent alt. Pours an amber-black cherry combination. Nice size head and decent lacing. Nose was roasted malts, rosemary, and candied nuts. Taste is malt, burnt, leather, nutmeg, herbal and excellently balanced. Felt good on the palate. Well rounded brew.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
0.5 l fliptop bottle.
It pours a chestnut brown with a nice off-white creamy/frothy head on top, which remains filmy, the carbonation’s lively.
The smell is of yeast, malt and some roastyness.
It begins tiny crisp, the taste is sweet and the flavour’s dried fruity and nutty.
The middle is of caramell/roasted malt and citrus hops, the finish is spicy, citric and bitter, which gives a perfect balance to the malt and remains in a pleasant aftertaste.
The beers texture is moderate sticky, body’s medium.
Overall a fine Alt, really made for my taste.

From the wood in the Altstadt. Orange-amber color, slightly lighter than the others. Slightly malty aroma. Flavor of caramel malt. Sweet, somewhat light.Refreshing but not as interesting as some. Some dark fruits in there, and ok hops. Sweet and sour finish, not really sour, but a bit tangy. Want to try this again.

UPDATED: JUL 19, 2010 Bottled 50cl. Courtesy of pivnizub. Beautiful nut brown beer with a nicely remaining lacing head. Dissapointing aroma of malt, raisin, malt, sugar and chestnuts. Nutty taste. Malty. Beautiful lacework indeed. Sweet malty finish. Definitely not my favorite Alt. Inferior to Schumacher Alt in my opinion. Thanks a lot pivnizub!

Bottle. It pours a clear, dark golden body under a nice, off-white head. Bready, caramel nose with a faint vegetal note and some prunes. Roasted notes too. Quite dry in the mouth, with caramel and bread, hints of roasted malts and dried fruits in the back. A little hazelnut touch and some bitterness lingering. Medium to full body with palate cleansing carbonation. Dry, bready finish with some fine bitterness. A really fine altbier that I would love to drink all night some time.. 091008

Brownish color body with a thick cream head. Great lacing. Smell is of caramel, nuts, malt, and heavy on the hops. Taste was amazing! Great bitterness to the mild sweet flavor. Hop bite stays for a long while. One of my new favorite altbiers.
