A: Pours a clear reddish/orange color. A small white head forms that recedes quickly. To little more than a ring.
S: Toasted malts, baked bread caramelized sugar and fruity esters of apple. A big malty aroma that is very enjoyable.
T: Again, that big malty character is up front and the show. Toasted malts, caramelized sugars. Fruity esters of apples, and light banana. A bit of alcohol warmth in the finish.
M/O: A full body with assertive carbonation at first. That becomes ultra smooth after a minute. A weighty malty character gives this some heft and stickiness. Certainly alcohol warmth, and it all leads to a nice one to sip on.

I don't see this style very often, and one from a mostly German style brewery less often. It is interesting and a pretty good example of the style, as I recall. Since it has been forever, I have kind of forgotten what it was like. A very enjoyable sipper that I will come back to when I see it again.
