On draft at The Porter Beer Bar. Poured brilliantly clear brown with amber and orange highlights. The aroma is mild with notes of toast, dark raisins, floral hops, and yeast. The flavor is surprisingly toasty, roasty, and bitter. There is no sweetness, and the roasty bitterness is almost acrid. At mid-palate, the beer is very bitter. The finish is dry with some roastiness and bitterness in aftertaste. The flavor is surprisingly a little watery. The mouthfeel is light with some spritziness from carbonation. Overall, a bit of a disappointment. The beer seems a bit watered down. It also seems unbalancedly bitter. There is very little bready malt character and almost no residual sweetness - just not enough to balance the roasted malt and hop bitterness qualities. I am quite surprised to see this beers average so high (3.45 at the time of this writing). Did I have the same beer as everyone else that rated this?!?!

The German beer safari continues. From the bottle, bought here in Krefeld at Trinkgut. Poured in Altbier glas Mostly lasting large head Typical amber color as it should be. Moderate hopps, roasted almost burned malt with some caramel hints. Bitter at first, nice citrus and grass body. Light sweetness ending with a rewarding and long aftertaste. Hints of nuts and wood. Pretty robust body with a dry texture for a beer rating at 4,7% alc. Good Alt, even one of the better ones but nothing to get too excited about. Cheers

Crushed with Jakebra. Just plain nothing. No nose. Kinda sour taste. What the fuck is with this one? Loved Doppel Sticke. Had high expectations for this one. Not even close.

Bottle. Pours a dark amber brown body with a thin off white head. A rich caramel malt, light toasted malt, burnt malt. Dark ripe fruit. Light sweet more burnt malt and some light bitterness. Some light wood and nuttiness.

Nice but tiring after a while, too much of the same style. Once again there were only two beers don’t understand what’s the deal.

Nice amber color with an off white head. Aroma is mostly munich malts with just a very hint of some herbal hops. Flavor is nice and malty, moderately sweet, bready, and very clean. Some good hop bitterness in the end, but overall this one is skewed towards munich malt. Very nice. Probably the best example of an alt that is somewhat available here in the states.
