Amber color, thin creamy head. Light caramel aroma. Caramel flavor, quite smooth, strong bitterness. Actually at the end it’s maybe too bitter.

On tap at Porterhouse, Covent Garden. Deep gold, lasting creamy beige head. Now I’ve just been to Dusseldorf, home of alt and this is not like Uerige Alt at all. Too light in colour, none of the sharp flavours. No depth of malt, no herby hop. It’s a vague keg bitter.

Bottle, kindly provided by KnutAlbert. 10% ABV. A reddish, very dark brown body under a tan head. The aroma is a lovely blend of chocolate, coffee, licorice, malt extract alcohol and notes of oxidation. The flavor is even more lovely, with the same elements found in the aroma as well as a nice bitterness and a slightly more obvious oxidation note. The finish starts hoppy bitter, but soon turns coffee bitter. A beauty. (081031)
