The beer has fruity undertones brought on by the yeast and a dry and clean aftertaste, typical for bottom-fermented beers.
A very soft mouthfeel, discrete caramel tones and a pinch of hoppy bitterness that cuts through the malty aftertaste. All wrapped up in German drinkability.

@home poured into an Alt glass. Clear deep amber colour, good frothy off-white to beige head, good retention and heavy lacing. Aroma toasted malt, caramel, grain, bitter hops, some yeast. Taste medium sweet and bitter, malty, roasty, caramel, resinous. Medium body, oily resinous texture. average carbonation, dry malty bittersweet aftertaste, light fruity accents, caramel, earthy and bitter resinous notes, very good example of the style and better than most macro brews.

Can from Dok. Clear brown with a stable, thin, tan head. Aroma of dried apricot, raisin, red apple, sweet tobacco, cake, caramel, green tea leaves. Taste has sweeetish red apple, apricot & plum wrapped in a caramelly & cake-like malty body, bitter herbs & peanuts for balance even though the sweetness is restrained. Dry, herbal hoppy finish, bready effect, more dried fruit with a smoky sweet tobacco touch. Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation. Very enjoyable & a nice example of the style. I do hope Dok keeps on making this (in one manner or another).

33cl can, BB 06/2022.
Cuivre - col fin beige.
Arôme au nez fin oscillant sur les malts. Note de caramel, léger grillé. Houblonné plutôt noble, finement herbacé - citronné. Pointe de fruits secs en fin de bouche.
Palais présente un malté caramel avec une belle dose de pils - côté fruité de levure levure. Retrouve une impression de malt crystal qui renforce un côté un peu grillé avec un soupçon de chocolat en fin de bouche. Note fine terreuse - noble houblonnée.
Surprenant de revoir un grand classique - les palais étant tellement habitués aux houblons et autres neipa et sour kettle.

Dok Brewing Company in Ghent, one of Belgium’s ‘new’ superstars in craft brewing, continuing its ‘world tour’ of all the beer styles in existence: this one is intended as an Alt, the old amber beer style native to the German city of Düsseldorf. From a can at Dok’s premises. Thick, frothy, off-white, stable, slowly opening head, clear deep bronze-hued copper robe, indeed the looks of an Alt, albeit on the darker side of the scale. Aroma of burnt toast, wet cigarette tobacco, hard caramel, peppercorns, dry tea, bread crust, toasted pine nuts, vague hints of plaster and rainwater. Cleanly and restrainedly fruity onset, moderately sweetish with vague dried berry and unripe peach accents, softish in carbonation with a very smooth, bit glueish-resinous body; full-on ‘hard caramel’ (minus the sweetness) in the middle with a wet-toasty and toasted-nutty bittering edge, very dense and rounded, with a nice herbal hop bitterness coming up in the end, accentuating the malt bitter aspect. Drying, malty, smooth finish, with some retronasal smokiness: this is a very credible, convincing Alt indeed, deliciously ‘old school’ in its pure and polished maltiness and, I dare say, on a par with most of the ‘larger’ examples from the Düsseldorf region itself – in fact even better (‘fuller’ and more refined) than some of those.
