Pour is a very dark brown with a very small tan head. Aroma is sweet caramel and some cocoa. Flavor is more of black bread with some char malt. Not much of a hop presence but the malt carries this one. I don’t have too many alt beers but I guess this fits the category. Plenty malty. Bottled as Freigeist Alt.

Imported from my RateBeer account as Braustelle Ehrenfelder Alt (by Gasthaus-Brauerei Braustelle):

31/I/15 - 33cl bottle @ Nieuwjaarsreceptie Gentse Biervereniging - BB: 13/VI/15 (2015-122) Thanks to Bartlebier for sharing the bottle!
Clear dark brown beer, irregular beige head, pretty stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: quite some chocolate, caramel, malty, bit sweet, grains. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: roasted malts, some coffee even, pretty bitter, metallic touch, caramel, cocoa powder, some overripe banana. Aftertaste: bitter, caramel, chocolate, little fruity, bit grassy. The Düsseldorfers will not like me saying this, but one of the best alt beers I've had. Ok, ok, it's totally out of style, I realize that. ;-)

33cl bottle from Systembolaget, Strömstad (as ’Freigeist Ehrenfelder Alt’). Pours slightly hazy dark brown to copper coloured with an off-white head. Malty aroma with notes of dark fruits, roasted malt, caramel and hints of herbs and wood. Sweet and malty with a balanced bitterness. Easy to drink and quite nice.

a) Old rating, 0.5l swing-top bottle. Best before 05.12. Brewed in Cologne. Nice roasty-smooth Alt, not as bitter and roasted as the Düsseldorfer beers, but characterful, malty-roasted, nice.
b) 33cl bottle, brewed at Göller. Very dry and malty beer. A bit dusty, fresh. Easy to drink but dry and dusty. Slightly sweetish, very dry. Nice not too bitter aftertaste. Not too bad.
