Präsidenten Alt

(bottle, with thanks to the Roman Koelschtrinker !) Clear, mahogany colour with a medium-sized greige head. Sweet toast-malty aroma with toffee and a subtle fruit-character and shy herbal hops. Bitter, slightly sweet flavour, light to medium bodied with a moderate carbonation. Dark malty, slightly roasted taste with caramel, toffee and a restrained fruitiness; roast- and hop-bitter dry finish with herbal hops and a delicate fruity-malty aftertaste. Pleasant, not too sweet Alt.

Bottled. Aroma is herbal cookie. Brown/copper color, beige head, good lace, pours very thick. Sweet, malty, light herbal, caramel, light bitter, thick for a alt, smooth. Not exceptional but certainly nice to drink.

Damn, Japan gets random beer in. Deep copper color. Minerally fruity nose. Malty slightly fruity mouth and a dry fruity finish. A combination of age and travel got to this beer. I agree with the commnents below about more hop character would have helped this beer.

Bottled. Clear dark copper/brown colour. Big, frothy head with little bubbles on top. Typical cookie malt aroma. Caramelly, malty and sweet taste. Not very hoppy, to say the least. Smooth mouthfeel and quite a full body, when compared to most altbier brewed outside the 4 Düsseldorf brewpubs. As I´m a fan of sweet beer, I also liked this alt. But I guess it´s not the kind of alt for people, who like hoppy and edgy alts like Uerige. A little more hops would have made this really good, though.
