A surprisingly easy-drinking dark ale with a medium body, malty palate and a smooth dry finish. Our alt is brewed in the tradition of the German "sticke" or "secret" alt which was a fuller, darker, and higher alcohol alt served unadvertised by German brewpubs at regular ale prices as a reward to regular customers who knew to ask for it. 5% ABV.
Beer Ratings and Reviews:
[1] Review by Beav from Fort Collins, CO, USA who has tried this beer a couple times. (4/30/2008 10:26:06 PM)
"12 oz bottle. Pours brown with a creamy off white head that retains and laces the glass.
The aroma is sweet sugary caramel and dark fruits
The flavor is is yeasty with some chocolate malt and some fruit. It has some acidic plastic and metallic bitterness. The mouthfeel is medium bodied and slightly watery.
Overall, it kind of reminds me of Jolly Pumpkin's Bam Noire, but not as good."
