In this northern German style retro altbier, we’ve dialled down the dry-hops to zero, but cranked up the malt to create massive aromas. Toasty, toffee and floral notes duke it out for supremacy in the headspace of your glass.
When this alt hits your palate, the steely bitterness combines with the rich dry malt and the subtle alcohol warmth in a full throttle attack on your taste buds.
Malts: Carafa, Extra Pale, Munich
Hops: Hersbrucker, Magnum

Bottle, BB 23.10.16 (from beer gonzo). Pours dark amber with beigeish head. The head stays. Aroma is yeasty, malty, sweet, sugar. Flavor is sweet and bitter, malt, grass, citrus, caramel, and earthy hops. Finish sweet and dry slightly citritc bitter. Overall: ok, feels somewhat similar to English bitter.

Színe gyönyörű, átlátszó vörösesbarna, habja alig, az is gyorsan elillan. Illata komlós, zöldfűszeres. Íze lágeres, némi gyümölcs és zöldnövényes adalékkal. Testes, közepesen szénsavas, enyhé keserű.

Il gusto al naso ricorda il marron glacé. L’intensità olfattiva è normale e la persistenza olfattiva è sufficiente. Il cappello di schiuma a bollicine grandi e bassa carbonazione ha una scarsa tenuta lasciando infine un pizzo sul vetro. La consistenza del liquido è limpida. Le bollicine sono poche e medie con carbonazione praticamente piatta. Il colore è ambrato carico tendente marrone. Il corpo è rotondo. L’amaro è medio. L’intensità gustativa è un qualcosa in più che normale. La persistenza gustativa è sufficiente. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali sono di facile beva. Il finale è amarognolo, secco e pulito. Il retrogusto è di media intensità. L’aroma in bocca riporta sentori di caramello, miele e frutta.

330ml bottle. Clear amber colour with a small off-white head. Aroma of malt and grain, caramel, toffee, earthy aromas. Taste is the same, malt, dark fruit, grains, spice, kind of sweet but with a lingering mild bitterness, slight roasted feel. First altbier I’ve tried so nothing to compare it to. Seemed ok, kind of like an English bitter.

0.33 l bottle at Pivoteka, Zagreb. Cloudy Coca-cola color, medium off-white to tan head. Aroma is caramel, malts and some wood. Taste is quite sweet with herbal caramel candy flavors and some smoke in the finish. Medium body, soft to medium carbonation and decent lasting finish. Very good example of style.

Bottle from Beers of Europe. Amber-brown. Toffee. Toast. Herbs. Minerals. Dryish. All in a vague half-hearted sort of way. It’s OK but from Brewdog I expect better than just OK.
