Uerige Doppelsticke
This one must have been lost in Deuane's fridge for a while. Bottled on date...5/03. Consumed...7/11 A - The pour revealed a deep shade of brown with no sediment getting into the glass...the head, small and off white, slowly faded to a full ring around the glass...not much lace was left behind S - This beer is all malt by now...and that's not a bad thing...I love the loads of caramel this is producing...I know it's pretty one dimensional, but I'm okay with that T - Again, all about the malts...they aren't showing any roasted flavors...it's all smooth and sweet...caramel really shines again throughout the whole beer...there are some underlying dark fruits that make an appearance towards the finish of the beer M - Medium bodied...it has some richness to it which makes it smooth going down...the sweet caramel never becomes cloying O - How does an eight year old altbier taste? Pretty good! The caramel played nicely throughout the entire beer...I wonder what a fresher bottle would taste like?
