Koelschtrinker (6544) - Köln (Cologne), North Rhine-Westphalia, GERMANY - JUN 7, 2011
Ein ausgeprägtes malziges Aroma fehlt bei diesem Alt fast gänzlich, der Antrunk gestaltet sich muffig, der Mittelteil hauptsächlich wässrig. Das hopfige Aroma im Mittelteil kommt kaum durch. Der Nachgeschmack ist erdig und leicht säuerlich, das ganze Bier erinnert nicht sehr an Altbier. Test vom 25.12.2005, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 12,10,10,6,11,8 - 8,85

Bottle from Bierzwerg. Poured mahogany color with a white head, nice lasting lacing . Caramel and nutty aroma, flavor very similar. Thin but refreshing.

harrisoni (9609) - Ashford, Kent, ENGLAND - DEC 12, 2010
500ml bottle thanks to Erzangel for another Schwelm beer. Very attractive mid chestnut colour with lasting thick beige head. Not as good as the Vormann Alt I had earlier. It’s ok, yes, some sweetish basic malts. Not much hop. Mind you anything is better than the Washington Redskins defence this season. Apart from London Fletcher, I think I sack the rest of the defensive squad. Bit of toast on the aroma. Some decent malts. It’s an ok alt, some decent toffee malts.

Shared bottle courtesy of Gunnar. Clear amber with a light brown film. Dried fruits and malts in the aroma along with a metallic hint. Clean roasted hoppy flavor. Metallic, bitter, sweet. Some tobacco in there and a touch of acidity. Light to medium body, Flatish.

gunnar (2279) - Sandnes, NORWAY - OCT 8, 2010
Bottle from Cracked Kettle, Amsterdam. Pours murky amber with a small tan head. Aroma of bready malts, taste is much the same with some caramel as well. Thin mouthfeel to be an Alt.

oh6gdx (15510) - Vasa, FINLAND - SEP 25, 2010
Bottled (from bierzwerg.de). Amber colour, small off-white head. Aroma is nutty, sweet maltyness, and some earth cellar. Flavour is caramel malts, crystal malts, some mild nutty notes as well as some mild wood. Very pleasant and actually gets better when it gets closer to room temperature.
