0,5l Flasche. Dunkler Bernstein. Cremig moussierender beiger Schaum. Spannendes Aroma. Trockenobst und Rauch. Holzfass und Malz. Sanft und weich. Keine Spur von Alkohol in der Nase. Cremiger Antrunk. Getrocknete Pflaumen. Bitternoten, Holz. Extrem rund!
BBE ??? Mustanruskea kolamainen väri, mieto vastaava vaahto. Tuoksu supermakea kolamaisen dunkelmainen, alkoholinenkin, maan multaisa. Suutuntuma nahkaisa, vetisehkö, ohut runko, alkoholi tulee esiin, rusinaa? Ihan ok kokonaisuutena.
Draught at Brewdog Helsinki. Dark brown color, beige head. Bitter taste with nuts, chocolate, malts, a bit of alcohol and bread. Bitter finish with nuts, bread, chocolate, a bit of alcohol and earthy notes. Good, but a bit monotonic.

Bottle thanks to allmyvinyl.
Appearance - dark brown with some orangey chinks. Thin off-white head.
Nose - sweet malt, toffee, nuts.
Taste - burnt bread, then into toffee, light spice.
Palate - medium bodied with a creamy texture and a fairly balanced finish.
Overall - it tastes like a Scotch ale, or a really big doppelbock.
Bottle from drygate, shared with Ashton McCobb. Pours clear ruby brown with a thick off-white head. Aromas of heavy dark malt, faint herbal. Taste is light herbal, more dark sweet malt and toffee. Almost a Scotch ale. Clean finish. Wowzer.
From Miguel. In Teku glass. After dinner. Thanks God it has a soft smoky touch that helps in drinking it slower,because its high ABV is really well concealed and its 50cl
Ecco una birra veramente ben fatta! Aspetto perfetto, colore marrone scuro con schiuma quasi pannosa. Complessa sia al naso che in bocca, con sentori maltati, passiti, un po’ liquorosi e altro ancora. Averne!
Aus der Flasche getrunken (Muted Horn). Dunkles Altkupfer mit weißem stabilem Schaum im Glas. Komplexe Malzigkeit dominiert. Im Nachtrunk etwas pfeffrig. Der überzogenen Alkoholanteil ist gut eingebunden. Körper setzt sich spät durch.
500ml bottle
Deep brown color with sudsy head.
Malty aroma with strong sticking plaster/medicinal phenolic.
Sweet creamy palate, malty with slight bitterness and a touch of sourness.
Interesting beer.
Restrained aroma in a deep brown black pour. Interestingly different flavor profile with the laid back hop malt balance enhanced with a subtle hint of smoke and wood. Manages to hide its not inconsiderable strength too - with could make it a little dangerous.
Backlog, ocena przepisana z untappd, w ramach uzupełniania profilu na ratebeer.
On tap @Ma che siete venuti a fà (Rome). Ambrata carica/bruna, con schiuma beige non molto persistente. Al naso sentori di malto, caramello, zucchero di canna, caramella d’orzo, luppolo (erbaceo). In bocca è dolce con base di malto esagerata e un finale luppolato leggero, un po’ sbilanciata. Corpo pieno, carbonazione medio-leggera. Un po’ grezza, ma ok.
Kolor: Brązowy, dość czysty.
Piana: Kremowa, drobno i średnio pęcherzykowata.
Spory czas wisi nad piwiem. Pozostawia liczne wstęgi na krawędziach.
Po zakręceniu szkłem brudzi każdy jego centymetr.
Zapach: Aromat jest wyraźnie słodowy z odpowiednią dawką chmielu z tyłu.
Czuć karmel, przypieczoną skórkę chlebową i odrobinę ciemnych owoców.
Na dalekim zapleczu nuty czekolady.
Smak: W smaku intensywnie słodowe z melanoidami, przypieczoną skórką chlebową, karmelem.
Na drugim planie delikatna wędzonka drzewna. Przez jakiś czas przewinęła się nuta śliwek wędzonych.
Owocowy profil jest stonowany, można się też doszukać delikatnych rodzynek i brązowego cukru.
Alkohol subtelnie rozgrzewa, ale nie przeszkadza.
Goryczka jest średniej siły, lekko pikantne tło.
Pół wytrawne, średnio wysycone, z gęstą, zbitą teksturą.
Mocne, konkretne, słodowe Ale.
Wysycenie: Średnie.
Podsumowanie:
Kooperacja Freigeist z Nøgne.
Nie mam dużego doświadczenia z tym stylem.
Wiem jednak na pewno, że jest to najlepszy Alt jakiego piłem.
Mocno słodowy, konkretny z duża porcją karmelu, melanoidów, lekką dymną nutą, stonowaną owocowością i kapką brązowego cukru.
Niesamowite jest ukrycie 11% alkoholu.
Współpraca niemiecko-norweska na 5-kę z plusem!
bottle. Dark brown with a small off-white head. Fruity hints in the nose, also caramel and chocolate. Full-bodied, malty with roasetd malts, caramel, dried fruit, some chocolate. Hints of berries with a tart and wild, yeasty touch. Unusual, good.
Bottle form the importer. This is another example to make old style like new one.
Bottle at home shared with Rachel before hitting the toon. Pours deep Amber with a White head. Pronounced malty aroma with a slightly fruity edge and a touch of smoke. Caramel/toffee flavour. A very full flavoured beer.
Old rating from CBC 2014. Beer in the glass brownish, small head. Malty-smokey aroma. Starts malty-spicy, a bit smokey. Light hints of caramel and syrup. Light sweetish background. Interesting.
Dark golden brown, offwhite lace. Roast, a tad phenolic and oxidized, roast sugar, medium full dark sugar base, light choc, some liquor, toffee finish.
Aroma: pumpernickel, caramel, melanoidines.
Appearance: hazy deep amber color and creamy head.
Taste: medium herbal bitterness, roasted dark malts, caramel, melanoidines, demarara sugar, semi-dry.
Palate: full body and medium carbonation, warming finish.
Overall: It is a great alt, complex and balanced, great demarara notes.
(Bottle, 0.5 l, at Pikkulintu, 20161116) The beer poured black. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had chocolate, toasted malts and sweetness. Palate was full bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were toasted malts, molasses, caramel, grass and bitterness. Aftertaste was sweet, malty and bitter. A confusing brew: partly an Altbier, partly a barley wine.
