Tasting Notes and Review of Fat Altbier from Swashbuckler Brewing Company

The brewery says: "Dusseldorf-style Altbeir. Dark Amber to Brown in color, with a nice hop aroma matched with a solid malt body. An overall tasty beer, for all drinkers."

Pros

Cons

This Dusseldorf-style Alt pours clear and copper with a tan, moderate head. The aroma is full yet understated with notes of malty sweetness and good bread. The flavor is rich with deep malty notes and significant hops bittering. It starts on the tongue with bold, complex maltiness without being too sweet. This soon gives way to a very nice spicy hoppiness that expands and lingers on the tongue for a long time. Take your time and get to know this beer.
