Sampled from 0.5 l bottle from local 'REWE', best before July 2018. Clear, dark brownish red with a medium large, frothy, almost stable, off-white head. Sweetish-malty, slightly grassy-spicy aroma of nuts, caramel, some raisins and a touch of wet straw. Moderately sweet, malty, slightly roasty, a bit grassy-spicy taste of caramel, nuts, straw and hints of raisins, followed by a short, moderately bitter, slightly grassy-spicy, a bit roasty and quite dry finish. Almost medium-bodied, smooth and slightly effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Quite okay. Helau!

50 cl. bottle @ home, bought @ Trinkgut, Kleve. Clear dark amber with a big white head. Caramel aroma. Bittersweet taste. Decent alt, maybe not the best choice on a frisky winter evening though. I bet I would appreciate this more on a warm day.

Bottle from Beers of Europe. Pours hazy chestnut brown with a small lasting off-white head. Aroma of sweet malt, caramel, some roasting and nut. Quite heavy seeetness, light roasted bitterness. Medium body, oily texture, average carbonation. Finish is roasted and just a touch sour.

Draft. Copper coloured. Nice head. Aroma is subdued. Malts and biscuit. Taste of malts, nuts, biscuit and hops. Bitter finish. Low carbonation. A little bit watery but somehow also smooth and creamy. Decent Alt.

Bottle at home, 19/08/16. Bought from Beers of Europe. Sweet yeasty aroma. Dark chestnut. Bubbly. Frothy beige head. Soft bodied. Carbonation. Bitter. Then sourness, which follows through in to a long finish. A sweet aftertaste on the tongue. Got my saliva glands going.

The old Gatzweiler Altbier renamed, a lesser known example of its style with rather thin and unstable, off-white head and dark bronze colour, cristal clear. Toasty and caramelly taste, bit woody, very nutty, typical ’cooked’ effect from pasteurisation, thin and even a bit watery mouthfeel, metallic, mild hop bitterness in the finish. I like Altbiers but this was one of the lesser ones I’ve tasted so far.
