Floral, sweet perfumey nose, caramel and dark toast. Sticky beige head. Perfect chestnut hue. Sweet dark malts, dark fruit, figs, leather, wood, burnt plastic a definate, caramel, peach psychprof says..yes sir...perfect mouthfeel, medium bodied, caramel, and the most perfect balance of hops in the finish. I am very impressed. Rather bitter, Austinpowers says so, but I feel this is oh so delectable. You have this this ultimate alt. And it comes in a sweet package. And it will rock your world.

Cloudy dark brown with a thin off-white head. Pleasantly earthy hop aroma. taste is malty with a strong undercurrent of bitterness and a dark, spicy hop finish. Very earthy and solid. Very tasty.

11.2oz flip top bottle. Dark amber with a 1/2inch off white head. Sweet malt aroma with notes of caramel and grass. Malt, nut and herbs at first; finishes with some hops that stick around for a fairly long finish. There’s also a bit of ash in the finish.

Pours a clear dark amber with a pillowy tan head. Aroma of smoky malt and a bit of hops. Flavor is surprisingly watery, with some caramel maltiness and German hops in the background. Tastes much less than 6.5%. Finishes sweet and moderately dry.

Le liquide a une couleur cuivrée. La belle petite tête mousseuse manque de ténacité. Le nez détecte des notes grillées, du malt caramélisé et quelques fruits avec des effluves peu intenses de houblons nobles. Au goût, les saveurs des houblons sont plus affirmées et permettent une amertume agréablement et justement touchée par la douceur des céréales maltées. En bouche, le liquide a un corps moyen avec une effervescence normale et une texture douce. La finale me semble bien adéquate, entre le malt doux et l’amertume des houblons. Bonne bière.

I was very excited to see this beer on the shelf the other day! Late last spring I picked up a bottle of the regular Uerige Alt and man, I loved the stuff! It was pretty pricey, as was this at $4.45 a bottle but man it’s freaking tasty! I was told that the Florida only got 14 cases for the entire state, and one of my local homebrew shops bought up 5 of those, which should last another couple of weeks.

Pours a dark copper body with a bountiful light tan head. The aroma and flavor offer a full dose of caramel malt and certainly a heap of pilsner malt. Slightly toasty, toffee notes, toasted wheat bread similarities. The hops are very refined.. I think they are more present in the aroma and then again in the lingering finish than anything else. Nice oaky woodsy suggestions. - Man.. Something just made me think about an old girlfriend I had many years ago… Every time I think of oak like flavors I always think of her for some odd reason. Maybe because we did a lot of camping and drinking beer around the camp fire…. I’m a strange dude aren’t I! - Anyway, The finish this a delicate inter-tangled combo of toasted malt and dry tarty hops. Now this is a beer I could drink year round and enjoy each and every drop of without ever feeling routine.

33 cl bottle on 1/22/2008. Nearly clear deep orange/mahogany under a frothy medium light tan head. Toffee like aroma with hints of pine, spice, and vanilla. Medium body and carbonation, mild astringency that leaves a dry palate. Up front bitterness over a backdrop of caramel sweetness that remains well hidden. Finish is long and mildly bitter. A toned down version of its big brother, Doppelsticke, but very good in its own right.

Pretty standard, but pretty tasty nonetheless. Hops are a little more present in this one, beautiful lacing! Sweet nutty caramel notes, some light frutiiness, slightly bitter finish.
