Aroma of malt, caramel, toffee, hint of chocolate, rye, dried fruits. Flavour is medium sweet with a light to moderate bittersweet finish. Nicely full and thick body. Good US Altbier.

Bottle. Pours nearly clear dark amber with airy off-white head. Clear aroma of malt, with notes of yeast and some fruity and hoppy touches. Mild hints of dust. Sweetish flavour of malt and caramel, with estery touches and notes of dust and hops. Spicy hints. Oliy texture. Bitterish and estery aftertaste. Decent, indeed, but rather sweet for the style.

12 ounce bottle into pint glass, no bottle dating. Pours slightly hazy/cloudy deep orange/copper color with a 1-2 finger dense off white head with good retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Nice dense soapy lacing clings down the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of caramel, brown sugar, brown bread, and toasted biscuit; with lighter notes of nuttiness, plum, apple, herbal, floral, and yeast/toasted earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of dark/bready malt and light earthy hop/fruity yeast notes; with solid strength. Taste of caramel, brown sugar, brown bread, and toasted biscuit; with lighter notes of nuttiness, plum, apple, herbal, floral, and yeast/toasted earthiness. Light herbal/spicy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of caramel, brown sugar, brown bread, toasted biscuit, herbal, floral, and yeast/toasted earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/bready malt and light earthy hop/fruity yeast flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Light dryness from bitterness, increasing through the glass. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/grainy, and lightly sticky mouthfeel that is nice. Zero warming alcohol for 6.6%. Overall this is a very nice Dusseldorf altbier. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/bready malt and light earthy hop/fruity yeast flavors; very smooth, clean, and easy to drink. A very enjoyable offering.

Bottled 355ml. -from Za Popen’t Ljubljana. Amber coloured with red glare, small off-white head, dusty malty nose. Toasted malt, caramel, slight nutty and dry fruity with some bready notes in rather dry finish. Pretty average and boring.
