Flasche von Hopfen & Malz, Berlin-Wedding. - Mattes Rotbraun, trüb; sahniger Schaum. - In der Nase schwache Frucht (ist das Erdbeere?), leichtes Röstmalz und herber Hopfen. - Anfangs schlank karamelmalzig mit Röstnoten, gefolgt von einer zarten fruchtig-säuerlichen Note, die sogleich in eine wuchtige, lang anhaltende Bittere von Röstmalz und Hopfen übergeht. Mild rezent, schlank. Im trockenen Abgang regiert wuchtige, erdige Hopfenbittere. Sehr langer, kräftig bitterer Nachtrunk mit Anklängen von Zitronenschale. - Wird gelegentlich als das bitterste deutsche Bier bezeichnet, aber das dürfte angesichts der vielen IPAs von sog. „Craft“-Brauereien überholt sein. Nicht überholt, vielleicht sogar uneinholbar ist die starke Kombination von Karamel- und Röstmalz, staubtrockener Herbe und der großzügigen Dosis Aromahopfen, die dieses Bier zu einem Klassiker macht. Einzigartig!

11.2 ounce swing top bottle.
It pours a very dark brown with reddish hues with a 1 finger head of tannish foam.
Big caramel malt in the nose, very sweet smelling, kind of a maple syrup sweetness.
Sweet, for sure in the taste, it also brings a close to bitter dark chocolate flavour that’s very nice; cuts the sweetness. I’m getting some raisin like flavour and hints of other dark fruits.
I’d call this full bodied as it’s very thick and luxurious to my palate. Lightish carbonation.
Wow, this is a grand brew, very enjoyable and satisfying.

Uerige’s strongest Alt, the ’premium’ version of Uerige Sticke, so to speak. Seasonal beer made with Munich malts and a secret ’hop tea’; very heavy for the style. Light beige, stable, dense, sticky head, colour a very dark brownish bronze, clear with subtle sparkling. Rich aroma of sweet fruits and bitter spices, very agreeable perfume, plums, chocolate, pear syrup, sage, old ’jenever’, pine resin, whisky, walnuts, coffee beans, jute, bark. Taste is Altbier all around but in a reinforced kind of way, with red fruits, thick nutty and chocolatey malts, silky, slick mouthfeel, pure with medium carbo, very spicy and earthy hop bitterness in the finish reinforced, but nowhere hindered, by a warming bourbon-like alcohol effect. This was very memorable - one of the best German beers I had so far and certainly the best Alt.

Shared by KyotoLefty at the Hanshin Seed Event. An opaque almost muddy brown pour. Great nose of candied plum, port, sweet dark fruits. Medium to light bodied. The taste is malty, boozy, sweet caramel, dark pitted fruits. A bit of that tannic oaky quality to it. Very interesting.

Done decently with light roast malt and a great grain profile consistent for style. Pours orange. Light bitter finish. Hint of hops and some citrus here. Good stuff. Tap at Max’s.
