2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 10/20
Serving: from bottle--purchased at Total Wine & More.
Aroma: lightly malty.
Appearance: average, rocky, light brown, initial head with fair lacing and fully diminishing longevity. Bubbly, reddish brown body.
Taste: moderately bitter initial flavor and lightly acidic finish. Long duration.
Palate: medium-to-full body, dry texture, lively carbonation and metallic finish.
Overall: I didn’t like it.
2.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Bottle - Pours mahogany with a thin filmy tan head. Nose is dry and bready, with yeasty notes, mineral water, and a bit of nutty roast. Taste is dry, a bit astringent, with nutty bread malt. Pretty sharp, with a rubbing alcohol note. Finishes malty and dry, but with some caramel sweetness that tries to break through it all. Biting carbonation with a watery body. Pretty unimpressed with this one.

Bottle: Dark brown with reddish hues, thick beige head. Roasty and earthy aroma, just a little pear. Flavor is roasty, earthy, nutty, peat, and moderate floral hops. Good.

3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
GABF 2012. Good malt flavor. Mildly roasted grain. Simple, but good palate. A good Altbier.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Dark mahogany color, brown, with medium sized head. Aroma of caramel, with light roasted nuts and wood oven baked bread; very light yeast and basil impression, later. Good body strength; the mouthfeel is lean; it has a very good caramel flavor, with mild residual sugars, and the required toasted nuts; quite bitter; more nutty in the end, with darker caramel too.
Very good.
