3.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle from Carl. Without the "Alpine". Pours very dark brown with a creamy tan head. Aroma is resin to me. With a touch of floral/perfume. Med+ body. Foamy carb. Flavor is initial roast malt with a surge of perfume/floral hop. There’s a lot of competing flavors, but I do not get citrus. Maybe some resin. Definitely bitter in the long finish. Or the short finish for that matter. There is no skimping on ingredients here. Quite nice.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. Poured clear black color with an average frothy light brown head that lasted with good lacing. Moderate to heavy roasted malt and hop aroma. Medium body with a smooth texture and flat carbonation. Moderate to heavy toasted bitter flavor with a moderate to heavy bitter finish of medium duration. Very good brew that I would recommend to a freind.
