Our legendary double amber ale is smooth and complex with roasted malt flavors and sweet notes of caramel & chocolate. Bittering hops balance the bags of malt that make this brew deliciously Vermont.
At 7.2 percent alcohol by volume, this is one brew worth milking.

Not quite on point for style. Lacks the interesting malt crispness and profile. Instead the malt comes off on the sweet side here lots of caramel and sugar. Pours brown with OK head and lacing. Bottle.

Enjoyed in Vermont. Pours a caramel colour with a light beige head and very nice sticky lacing. Dark fruit aromas. Floral perfume taste with fruity malts. Altbier malts eventually comes out in the finish. Quite smooth mouthfeel and a nice brew overall.

Bottle from Harvest Market Pours a fairly clear medium amber color with a smallish off white head that dissipates fairly quickly. Aromas of caramel toffee and brown sugar with just a hint of butterscotch. Earthy bitterness in the aroma keeps this in check. The flavor is sweet rich sugars with some melanoids and a bit of burnt sneaking in there. Earthy bitterness with a touch of burnt butter round us out. Medium body with a moderate level of carbonation. There is a bit of diacetyl here and that usually turns me off to a beer, but this is one of the rare instances where I think it works within the frame of the rest of the brew.

Reviewed from notes. The appearance is a clear yet dark amber/brown colored body with a short slightly creamy looking head, spotty lacing drips down the side of the glass as it goes down. The smell is malty and slightly fruity with some nuts that try to carry over slightly. The taste is a rich and well balanced malty fruitiness. On the palate its about a medium in body, comes across fairly sessionable, no aftertaste with a dry earthy finish, slightly crisp. Overall, this is a good beer for its style and good to me

Rating from 2010. Many thanks to Micha! Die Farbe ist schön dunkelbraun, der Geruch hopfig-frisch und leicht süßlich. Der Antrunk ist angenehm herb-frisch, ganz leicht malzig-süßlich. Zum Hauptteil wird dieses Bier sehr frisch-hopfenaromatisch, dabei allerdings auch relativ penetrant herb und süßlich. Der Nachgeschmack geht etwas ins klebrige über, dabei aber immer noch frisch-herb und ganz leicht malzig. Die 7.2% sind nicht zu schmecken. Allerdings ist es mir zu penetrant süß-klebrig und zu wenig typisch altbier-malzig.

Bottle shared at Beer Market Jaffa. Better Beer Of The Month Club. Slightly hazy amber. Malty aroma, a bit caramelly, a bit nutty, with a bit of oxidation. Sweetish malty flavor, a bit toasty, with a bit of caramel, nutty notes and light fruity notes. Medium-bodied. Alright, pretty easy-drinking.

Tap at Plan B, Springfield, 19/05/13. Golden amber with a thin off white head. Nose is caramel malt, brown sugars, light maple syrup, biscuit. Taste comprises light floral hops, demerara sugar, good dose of malt, caramel backbone. Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Ok stuff but wouldn’t be rushing back.
