Serve in Kölsch/Altbier

11.2oz flip top bottle. Possibly the coolest bottle ever. Interesting beer. Pours a hazy brown with lots of sediment. A bit pricey but worth checking out at least for a taste. Looking forward to trying doppel sticke.

Pours a deep amber with aromas of honey, roasted malts and nuts. Flavors of nuts, A slight hoppiness and caramel. Mouthfeel is medium bodied and slighty sticky aftertaste.

Dark for a kolsch, with a good-looking head. Aromas of dry leaves and caramel. Lots of body, good level of carbonation. Flavors are malty and dry. Much more hop presence on the tongue than the nose. Also almond and earthy flavors. An interesting, and assertive, alt.

brownish copper body, golden yellow at edges. creamy pillowy off-white head. fresh grassy dry caramel malt and zesty/citrusy orange peel aroma. flavor is mild grainy light caramel malt, slick mouthfeel, light and tangy dry grassy/bitter hop finish.

Minimal liight tannish head that dissipates quickly. Nice amber brown hue. Fruity and toffee is the aroma that stands out. Medium sweetness that is balanced nicely with medium bitterness. Full body with a nice creamy texture. Somewhat long bitterness in the finish.

Light amber colour with a thin head. Nose is malty and creamy, same for the taste. Sweet in the back and fairly round overall. Not bad, drinkable, thats a plus

Bottle: Medium brown clear body w/ a light beige lasting head. Toasty Mucich malt aroma w/a light roast and very, very light caramel; Slight floral hop behind everything else as it warms. Flavor starts out w/ toasty malt, very well balanced, but quickly turns pleasantly bitter that lasts well into the finish and aftertaste; light roasty w/ some hop flavor in the finish as well, finishes on the dry side. Very clean and crisp. Light medium body w/ low carbonation and a slightly prickly feeling from CO2, but very smooth overall. This is what I imagined a D. Alt to taste like if I'd ever had one before this point. Very clean and pleasantly bitter; It has Czech Pils rounded bitterness w/ a Munich Dunkel grain characteristic, but lighter and more delicate. Great stuff!

Dark amber/cider color; Medium slightly creamy body; Aroma of toasted malt, dark fruit, some caramel, & spice; Flavor of roasted sweet malt, spicy hops, caramel, nuts, some dark fruit, and raisons; Finish is slightly bitter; Nicely balanced; Overall, quite good - though I enjoyed their double a bit more.
