bhensonb (2728), Woodland, California, USA May 10, 2008 11.2 oz; bottled on 05.07. Dark caramel aroma. Ruby color with fine particles (or something) dispersed throughout. Beautiful. Beige head. Seems full bodied, and the carbonation is creamy. Flavor is something more than caramel. Sort of roasted. There’s bitter. Very good finish as the bitter builds up somewhat. Actually fairly bitter. Good tasting drink.

RCL (973), Boston, Massachusetts, USA Jul 8, 2008 Deep auburn pour with a persistent head. Dry yet rich flavor. Fairly bitter aftertaste. gwelch925 (29), Northern, Kentucky, USA Jul 2, 2008 Uerige Alt pours a cloudy dark brown with a rocky, two-finger off-white head. It contains a good bit of carbonation that will last through the whole beverage. The aroma given off by this Altbier hops and yeast, smells like a loaf of bread. Has a long lasting bitter hops flavor. You also have roasted malts and maybe some caramel/toffee flavor. Pretty impressive beer, I might revisit down the road. azlondon (461), Greater London, England Jun 27, 2008 Appearance: Brown. Not much head. More when warm.
