Commercial Description:
An ultra-premium all-malt and traditional German-style ale at 5% alc./vol. Deep copper to light brown colour with an aromatic focus on malt elements of fresh baked biscuits and toast. Malt initially dominates the palate with typical Altbier flavours of biscuits, followed by an intense yet pleasant hop bitterness. A slightly dry body and reduced ale fruitiness is achieved by extended deep-cold aging. Can be served with beef soups, spinach salad, roast chicken, pork tenderloin, falafel, chocolate cake, and smoked cheeses.

Re-rate is long overdue, please disregard these comments as they are not indicative of the recent history of this beer.

It has its moments, but they are few and far between. The aroma has at times been absolutely wonderful. Other times, it’s AWOL. The flavour has ranged from astringent burnt to smokey-crystal malty.

Orange body, rather clear. Decent sized off-white head, but bubbles are irregular. It sticks the glass okay though. Malty aroma, bready, nutty, lacking a bit ofof depth. The taste is heavily sweet with notes of caramel and a weird late cherry syrup profile. Moderately carbonated, big water character. Lightly bitter finish. It seemed pretty ordinary and thin, I think I drank the whole glass in less than 5 minutes, it had been a while since I've done that with a first-timer.
