The rich, sweet malty flavor with hints of licorice is balanced by a chocolaty bitterness. Dark brown in color and topped by a thick, creamy tan head.

This is a new beer for me. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a very dark brown color with a small tan head. The aroma is strong chocolate and what I can only describe as artificial blueberry. The flavor is rich and malty with sour chocolate, ripe fruit and a flowery hop finish. Interesting. I will probably come back to this beer again sometime.

Pours the deepest red with a thin ring of light tan bubbles. Toasty, woody aroma. Flavor is surprisingly complex with layers of bread (more precisely, toast) mingling with tangy wood, toffee, and just a hint of raisin. My second beer of the style, and this one is doing quite a bit more for me than the Old Hat Alt Beer. Too bad Schmaltz's Alt is apparently no longer produced.
