3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
bottle, pours dark amber with a medium off white head. Carmel malt and bitter spiced hop aroma. Sweet carmel malt with a little bit of bread and biscuit flavor in the body as well end with a strong and assertive hop bitterness that dries out the ending. This is a top notch alt. Very drinkable and balanced brew. Moderate carbonation, crisp mouthfeel. Good beer.

Dank an MoritzF!
Ein weiteres Altbier aus einer Düsseldorfer Hausbrauerei. Schönes Aussehen mit tollem Schaum. Hopfig-herb, deultiche Röstmalz- und Karamellnoten. Trockener Abgang und herber Nachgeschmack. Gut!

At Schlussel pub in Koln. The alt is more toffeeish, again very soft carbonation. Deep old gold/brown, soft aroma. Soft toffee in mouth. Very bland hop on finish only slight sting and thats mainly cos its cold.

At Zum Schlüssel on March 12, 2010
Clear dark copper to brown color, lasting fluffy tan dense head. Herbal, hoppy, butter, metallic (slight) taste. A bit spicy, rather fresh. Dry aftertaste, also herbal. Fresh herbal hoppy scent. Medium though moussy mouthfeel. Some residueal sweetenss, also here a bittersweet thought of the smaller glass servings. It’s good that the beer keeps cold and fresh, also good for many tastings in one night, but you quickly come to the end of the glass wanting more.

Bottle. The color is dark amber and the head is creamy. The aroma has notes of caramel, malt and fruit. The flavour has notes of roasted malt, caramel, fruit and a little citrus in the finish. It is incredibly well balanced and nice, I would love to try it on the brewpub some day – woow.

A Mes rate: bottle at Quinns.
Rich dark copper colour with a superb off white head and excellent conditioning. This is a bloody excellent alt all round. Well within the best before date which is just what you want with a beer like this. I’m guessing it’s inside of being a month old and it really shows, it’s just gloriously fresh. Superb malt, perfectly downable, I could sink this in one. An excellent clean and perfectly balanced finish. Everything an alt should be. Very very well made indeed. Proof if I ever needed it that these types of beers should be drunk as fresh as possible. A brilliant beer.
