(swing top bottle, bought at the brewery in Düsseldorf) Hazy, cloudy amber colour with a big and lasting foamy, slowly lacing beige foam. Dusty, sweet malty, toasty caramel aroma with a nice fruity and intense herbal hoppy blend. Hoppy, yeasty and fruity taste with a rich, almost medium bodied toasted malty base; aromatic, bitter and lingering herbal, slightly floral dry finish. Just 45 minutes away by train. Oh Lord, what a wonderful life...

No head. Light brownish red body with some haziness. Sweet powerfully floral malty aroma with cinnamon and caramel notes, slightly earthy. Sweet roasty licorice taste with some cinnamon. Very fruity. Intense cinnamon aftertaste. Incredibly delicate and well balanced. Not too powerful, but much better for it. Excellent! Really something special. (0.33l bottle.)

Die schlichte Flasche wirkt edel, die Krone präsentiert sich haltbar. Auch wenn ein malziges Aroma klar zu erkennen ist steht bei diesem Alt ein herb-bitteres Aroma im Vordergrund. Das vollmundige Alt hat im Agang außer dem stabilen udn lang anhaltenden bitter-malzigen Aroma noch eine gewisse Kernigkeit zu bieten, was das Bier aber nicht unbedingt süffiger macht. Man sitzt an einem Glas Uerige wohl deutlich länger als bei vielen anderen Altbieren, was aber nichts negatives ist. Test vom 12.7.2006, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 13,10,8,8,11,9 - 9,35

11 oz bottle-pours a big creamy tan head with bronze/red color. Aroma is apple, cherry, malt, dark caramel. Taste is sweet, an effervescent tingling on the lips/tongue, medium malt, alcohol, background hops, dark fruit. First ½ seems like a good occasional beer, 2nd ½ mellows a bit, nicer.

Pours a cloudy brown into a farmhouse water glass. No head whatsoever -- and no evidence of carbonation. Malt aromas - dates, plums, dough. Flat, sticky and figgy with a long lasting bitter malt finish.
