Tap at Stone Arch MSP as part of a tasting flight. The ABV of this beer seems a bit of the high side for an alt... Clear mahogany brown in color with w bit of q beige head. Nutty roasty aroma, medium bodied and dry the taste is roasty with coffee and tobacco notes in top of the classic biscuity toffee elements. Alright. 3.4

12oz bottle. Bought the whole 12 pack just to sample this one. Pretty enjoyable example of the style. A pinch hoppy, but that wouldn't be so out of place on the Aldstadt. The aroma isn't that impressive, earth and aspirin dry tones. Approximates the style, but the ingredients just scream cheap and streamlined. An OK beer, certainly drinkable, just not that impressive.

Not bad for an almost traditional Alt. Like the previous reviewer, I picked up some hop in the flavor where it does not belong. But otherwise it follows true to tradition. Aroma has malt toffee and a bit of roast. Maybe the flavor would have been like that but the Hop masks it all.

On tap at the brewery but also available in bottles. Brown color, thin lacing head. Grain and malt aroma, flavor has a lot of hops, especially for the style. Some sugar, a very mild toasted grain flavor, and a cereal grain finish. Solid beer, but maybe too much hop character for an alt.
