11.2 oz inside one of the coolest looking bottles i have seen.

A: red. seriously. holding this one up to the light shows a beautiful garnet body. it looks hazy, but it is hard to tell with such a deep hued body. reddish hints in a white creamy head. good retention and great lacing.

S: a sweet caramel graininess is just about the only aroma present here. simple, yet inviting.

T: starts with a bitter zang. chewy caramel toasted grains are quick to follow. a little bit sour in an otherwise dry finish. sort of clove-like as well? very mild clove. definitely has a sulfur presence.

M: moderately high carbonation on a medium body.

D: fantastically flavorful and drinkable. this is my first alt reviewed and it is interesting to think this is the slightly beefier version from Uerige. it would be neat to try the classic, sticke, and doppel side by side. overall, very enjoyable brew.

Bottle poured into a tulip
Bottled on 01.11, code 01.12, whatever that means.

A- Pours hazy dark amber. A bubbly one finger of a tan head.

S- A big grain on the nose, A bit of Munich and pilsner malt. A slight caramel and yeasty esters. A sour fruityness.

T- A bit of caramel at first. A frothy, foamy caramel flavor. A breddy, yeasty flavor as well. A bit of dark fruit to this beer, A fig and dry raisin. A bit of this beer actually reminds me of wine, a dry quality and an alcohol feel on the tongue. A slight lemon grass note, herbal oniony grass notes as well. A strange and complex beer.

M- Thick on feel for the ABV, higher in carbonation. A slightly strange alcohol feel in the aftertaste.

O- A very weird beer. Certainly different from what you expect from an altbier.

I feel like this is a German beer lover's beer.

A nice chestnut color with lace on the side of the glass that's going nowhere.

The nose is sweet hazelnut up front and lingering leather.

As far as taste goes, its got a nice hop spike that isn't altogether indicative of other German darker brews I'm familiar with. Just the right amount of roasted malts commingle with earthy tobacco notes.

Delicious & worth the price tag.

Amber copper color. Poured four fingers of thick off-white head with long retention and leaving marks.
Nice aroma of piney and floral hops, slightly toasted malts and notes of cinnamon and caramel.
Very tasteful beer, mild toasted malt, spices and caramel. Delicious bitterness with grassy and earthy hops. Dry and bitter aftertaste.
Light to medium body and low carbonation, 6% ABV is well hidden.
Great beer, I just found grace in Altbiers just after dinking the Uerige. Flavorful, hoppy with good drinkability.
