0.5 AROMA 1/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 1/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 1/20
The beer is on tap at Edelweiss in Norridge, on Irving Park Road in IL. It is, by far, the best beer I have ever had. They have it classified as BBK Octoberfest.
2.5 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
330ml bottle served chilled. Very nice to look at with its deep brown body topped by a moderate, dense and off-white head. Pale malty aroma. Momentary taste of hops and tangy malts. Medium carbonated and quite mouth filling (Flughafen, Frankfurt 11.09.2007).
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Clear straight amber pour topped by a sticky, lasting off-white head. Quite a simplistic alt, but not unpleasant. It starts off with straight pure sweet caramel, but manages to dries out with its dark toasted notes and hesitant, yet ultimately effective herbal hops. A bit roughly done, feeling like a draft, but still quite drinkable.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle. Clear amber colour with a medium white almost rocky head. Aroma and taste of malts and caramel. Dry hoppy finish.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Tap at Laschet’s. Very bock-like in taste. Malty and sweet. Some darkness pushing through, but tasty. Definitely had a sort of primal taste to it. Very much an alt in character.
2.7 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle, 4.8%. Weak malty aroma. Clear dark brown colour. Quite roasted flavour, on the brink of giving that certain roasted malt bitterness.
2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
An amber beer with a white head. The aroma is sweet malty with light notes of caramel. The flavor is sweet malty combined with a metal note.
