Common descriptors are
The Devil’s Secret is a rare German ale called a doppel sticke. The base style is an alt beer, but like its German counterpart, we have jacked up the malt and hops to provide a rich full bodied dark ale with lingering bitterness in the finish. Using only the finest German caramel and dark malts, the flavors exude dry fruits and toffee with notes of chocolate and raisins. Only the finest German hops are used in ample quantities to balance this rare German ale to perfection. Be sure to spread the word that the secret is out! (This beer was brewed at Apocalypse Ale Works in collaboration with Jason Oliver from Devils Backbone)
