Murky brown color, and decent foamy head.
Aromas of sweet malts, toffee, molasse and hints of salty smoke.
Has a soft malty beginning, while a pleasant warmth flows through the body. Smoke flavor goes very well with the Altbier-character, adds a grainy complexity with subtle hints of salt to it. After the salt gets detectable on the palate along with wood and musty yeast, a huge sourness emerges and threatens to overwhelm the palate. As the beer warms up, the lactic acid driven sourness decreases, and leaves some space for zingy salts and wooden malts on the palate. Full bodied beer, which contains completely different layers, which all melt together in a very unique flavor. At first this seems to fail, due to the enormous sourness, which misses essential balance, but as the beer gets warmer it becomes very enjoyable. Leads to a long lasting vinous, roasted, sour finish.
