11.2 fl oz swing top bottle purchased at Metcalf Discount 135th Street in Overland Park, Kansas. Bottled on 25.11 Code 1225 printed on label. Pour is a murky orange dark brown with a foamy off white head. The one inch head falls slowly with pretty lacing. Aroma of brown sugar sweet maltiness with some orange citrus mixed in. Straw and grass mixed in as well. Taste is toasty malt, mild caramel and cooking brown sugar sweetness, and some bitter citrus in the back. The finish is fairly long, and is the earthy straw and grass from the nose. The taste lingers, with some mile oxidation as the beer warmed. Palate is on the flat side, medium to thin, nicely drinkable.

Flip-top bottle (BB 07/2009). Courtesy of bierkoning, thanks Edo! Deep amber color, good creamy beige head. Caramel nutty hoppy aroma, similar to some British bitters. Nutty, a bit caramelly flavor, long bitter aftertaste. Medium-bodied. Tasty altbier. As said, suprisingly similarities to some English ales (Bishops Finger etc).

Bottled at PBF. Cloudy nut brown, rich lively head. Roasty and fruity. Very salty with light-medium body, soft moutheel. Dry and heavily hoppy with quite aggresiive resiny bitterness. Not at all as good as the stuff from the wood, but that goes without saying. Good altbier doesn’t travel.

Bottled flip-top (PBF). Murky brown-yellow color, small white head, some head. Grassy hoppy aroma. Quite hoppy and tasty. Long bitterness in the aftertaste. Lively carbonation. Good one.

Hmmm...the regular cask alt at the brewpub can’t be filtered, so I don’t get it. Hazy dull amber. Toasty, with some slight mushroomy oxidation. Hoppy, dry, yeasty and toffee-accented malts. Firm, assertive and quite dry.

Pours a cloudy brown color with a sticky tan head that leaves plenty of lacing. Sticky(e) and thick sweet caramel and malts aroma. Pretty bitter and malty. Palate is thick and sticky. Creamy texture to it. This is like what a German IPA would taste like. The only bad thing about this beer is the price.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown flip top bottle this beer poured a dark amber-brown color with a small beige head. The aroma was very strong caramel and light fruits. The flavor was strong fruit, caramel and molasses with a nutty undertone and a sour, tangy and nutty finish. There was an off flavor that just did not work for me. Ok.
