Guide Review - Tasting Notes and Review of Fat Altbier from Swashbuckler Brewing Company
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.
