Baltus, a hybrid style, is a top-fermented beer made with English floor malts, malted wheat and noble hops. A classic European yeast strain with a subtle yet discernable estery profile is employed. A warmer fermentation, followed by a period of cold conditioning serves to develop and refine this complex beer.

sample at DLD - Pours amber with a moderate head. It smells of sweet malts and a bit of dark fruit. The flavor was both sweet and surprisingly sour. Medium bodied and lively, this one was... interesting.

Bottle from Cornboy; Thanks; Nose of spices, bananas, and sweet caramel; rust colored with a small beige head; flavor of brown sugar, caramel malt, spices, fig newtons, and some alcohol in the medium body, the alcohol lasting to the finish.

12 oz bottle, poured a dark caramel color with cloudy body. Creamy textured head, color was tan/creamy. Taste is rich and sweet. We bought this ale after having an enjoyable ’tour’ of the brewery with the highlight being the owner/brewer Tom chatting about items we asked about and unique features of Heavyweight.

2004 bottle. Ruddy brown pour, darker, muted greyish-tan clay tones with a fizzy beige head, mostly disipating. Mostly clear body, with a touch of sediment at the bottom. Aroma of alcohol, dark candi sugar, some dusty/musty yeast and straw. Notes of raisins and toffee are light but also discernable. Flavor begins with a lightly sour yeast mixed with candi sugar, raisins, wheat and light hops. The body is a bit thin overall, or thinner than I would like, anyways. Light alcohol notes on the palate, dark fruit notes and a slightly sharp/sour finish of yeast, alcohol and sugar. Fizzy, bubbly carbonation does not die off very quickly.

This was a really interesting beer though one that I found varied significantly in the several batches that I tried. +++Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a cloudy dark brown with almost no head. The aroma was strong roasted malt and chocolate. The flavor was sour apple and roasted malt with a fruity sourness on the finish. The texture was noticeably flat. A very interesting brew.

Deep brown, clear, no head and little carbonation. Malty spicy aroma. Clean, light, sweetly fruity flavor. Maybe a bad bottle and a re-rate is needed, but for now.... Not bad, but not outstanding either.

Dark amber colour with predominant ruby highlights and a thin soapy tan head. Pleasant aroma of sweet pit fruit, raisins and caramel with the complexity of malt and other fruits. Heavy-bodied; Carbonated mouthful; Sweet inital taste, definately malty with the extra fruityness. Aftertaste bittered from the malt and left sweetened from the fruit and sugars. Overall, a good beer, nice and carbonated. I bought this twelve ounce bottle at Chevy Chase Wine & Liqours in Washington, D.C.

Medium brown colour; some woody, caramelly malt, slight band-aid. Malty, some hard candy, caramel. Very muddled flavours and overall lack of focus.

This is a quality offering. Dark amber color, with a peppery aroma. This has just enough malt presence to satisfy the malt lover, and it has a combination of sweetness and spice that balances nicely. It is kind of like Victory V10 without the tartness, though not quite as complex.
