Pours a deep amber colour with beautiful reddish hues. Strong malt aroma, nutty and slightly toasty, spicy hops. More malt on the palate, bready, full bodied but dry. Great lingering bitterness. A Düsseldorf original.

Bottle from Bottledog drunk on a train. Cloudy dark brown lasting thick dark beige head. So I have bfeen to Dusseldorf twice and know my way around an Alt. And this is decent on first impressions. Fresh brown malt on the aroma. Spicy hop on the finish. It’s got chocolate biscuit and some hop. Pretty good recreation of the style. Tasty. No faults just good beer. I liked it.

Craft Clerkenwell. Keg. Hazy deep amber beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light and a little crisp. Tangy malts with tangy caramel. Light floralness and dried fruits. Light semi dry finish. Clean and drinkable but the style is never going to wow me.

Keg at the Cock Tavern, 01/09/14. Lightly hazed golden with a moderate off white covering that dissipates. Nose is yeast esters, light banana bubblegum, caramel, grain, vanilla, floral notes. Taste comprises citric peel, pear drop, light brown bread, spice, nutty linger, grassy. Medium bodied, light spritzy carbonation, crisp clean close. Decent enough for style.

Keg at Craft Beer Co Clerkenwell. It pours clear deep brown with a medium white head. The nose is bitter-sweet, brown bread, light sweetness, nut, raisin and caramel. The taste is bitter-sweet, wood, leather, must, nut, brown bread, mild spice and citrus peel with a dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Balanced and quaffable. Nice work.
