4.3 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
Nice dark brown color with a small, foamy head. Aroma ... AWESOME! It almost smells like a good wine with hints of dates. It has a good body, but only during the aftertaste. This is a quality beer
4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Bottled. Poured dark amber in colour with huge fluffy beige head. Served in Uerige’s alt bier glass and leaves a nice lacing on the glass. Sweet malty aroma along with some hoppyness. Flavours of malt, bread and lots of hops. Nice semi-dry and hoppy aftertaste.
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Darker than I expected, tea-colored, dark brown-red. Head is light brown. Good malty nose, nice toffee, bit of raisin character as well. Nice palate, full and creamy, not quite enough carbonation but still works quite well in the mouth. Great malty character, bit nutty, lots of toffee and butterscotch. Hops come on at end, good toasty bitters. Darn good stuff.
4.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20
Fantastic stuff! Light nose of sweet caramel, crystal clear copper brown color, tall fuffy lacy head. Syrupy, malasses tastes with hints of dark fruits, like figs. Fresh, prominent hop finish. Almost has a barley wine character to it, but lighter. Thick texture and a warming feeling in the mouth (and on the soul). A near-perfect toasted malt and hop blend.

A truly amazing alt bier that really impresses. A nice malty caramel back bone with a good hop bitterness. The hops are present but not at all obtrusive. For 65IBU's one would never guess. Truly a world classic.
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Nice malty essence. Spicy hops presence with dusty grain. Really nice altbier aroma, with a bit of smoke and broth. Simple and pure. Dark amber clear with creamy rocky off-white lacing head. Medium watery body with medium carbonation. Smooth drinking. Starts with nice maltiness, rich medium roast with caramelized sweetness. Bready and dusty with dry nutty-sweet finish. Nice hops bitterness with a bit of floral spicyness. After is dry and mildly nutty sweet. I could drink this every day.

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.

Bottle from bierkompass.de. Nice bottle! Poured ruby color with a medium white head. Aroma is nutty, very malty with some toffee. Flavor is caramel, fruity hops and caramel. Incredibly tasty, so full of flavor. Wish the bottle would have been bigger.
