This German-style Altbier is malty, traditional, & autumnal. Our recipe is a nod to the Rhineland roots of the style: a top-fermented, copper-coloured “Oktoberfest Ale”. Warming hints of dark chocolate & freshly browned bread blend with spicy aromas meant to inspire the feeling of the fall biergarten season. Prost!

From the pint can, it pours a clear mahogany color with a very nice light tan/khaki head that slowly reduces and leaves lacing. The nose gets light yeast, roasted malts and dirty feet (to a friend). The mouth gets some earthy flavors and roasted malts.

Dark copper, bordering on red-brown, dense khaki head, excellent retention, thin rings of lace
Aromas of bread rising, wet malt, raisin, pumpernickel.
Tastes like the fruit and nut dark bread you can find at the little eastern European shop that caters to expats. Just a touch of spicy malt.
Medium-bodied, appropriate carbonation. Filling, but drinkable.
I fucks with it.
