Bottle mail ordered from the brewery. Deep brown color, lightly cloudy, low head. Aroma of caramel, toffee, malts, just a hint of diacetyl. Flavor is sweet and malty caramel with a touch of butterscotch. Light hops in the finish. Lacks the dryness, cleanness, and hops of a real alt, but tastes ok.

Bottle. Tasting set direct ordered online directly from the brewery. A lovely deep amber with ruby highlights pour with a thick foamy light beige head that leaves a dash of lacing behind. Rich malty sweet aroma that pays tribute to scotch ales or barley wines with fruity plum notes. Medium light bodied with a effervescent carbonation. A pleasant mouthfeel but the rich aroma gave me the promise of a fuller body than it has which is a shame. The taste is great though, the malts are the star of this beer giving plum, figs, caramel & toffee. Sweet without being cloying and it’s also easy to drink. Good stuff.
