Our take on a slightly darker, roasty German alt-style. Pretty much exactly what we want to session on these colder days. Built with a blend of more subtle/mild deep roasted malts which helps achieve this super drinkable light chocolate character. Lots of quality Saaz in the boil. Fermented with ale yeast at very cold temperatures—finished by a 2 week lager temp rest. Mellow chocolate, crispy toffee, subtle pomegranate type flavor profile. Really easy to drink 5.5% winter beer.

On tap at Angel’s Trumpet in Phoenix, AZ.

This one pours with a dark brown color, with a small white persistent head, and lots of lacing.

This one smells like caramel, dark fruit, spiced bread, and light vanilla.

This is definitely sweet when it comes to altbier. That doesn’t detract really for me here, as it’s a richly malty treat, with caramel, light breadiness, raisin, and a toffee creamy sweetness. I’d maybe want a bit more hop character, but I still enjoyed this.

This is medium bodied, very creamy and very drinkable, with a smooth finish.

This doesn’t exactly feel traditional, but it’s definitely pretty tasty
