Waldmann Düsseldorf Altbier.
5.6 % ABV. Waldmann Brewery, St. Paul, MN.
Dark brown color, nearly opaque, large creamy/tan head.
In the nose: Sweet malt, mild hops, nuts, cocoa and cola lead the aroma.
In the mouth: Sweet from the start, malt-driven, smooth and tasty. Ultimately balanced, ending on a tidy dry note. More of the cola/cocoa/nut flavors, rolling off the palate. Hints of anise. Moderate bitterness, Exceptionally likable. Ridiculously drinkable. I can't recommend this highly enough.
Originating in Düsseldorf in the early 19th century alter is a copper-colored session beer of well-balanced bittersweet drinkability. Brewed with a mix of German noble hops, our version is fermented with a classic ale yeast at cooler temperatures and then lagered for several weeks producing both the nutty malt aromas of an ale and the dry finish and lingering hop aromas of a lager.

Took me a while to realize “layered” was Autocorrect for “lagered”.
I merely cut and pasted from Waldmann’s website, where they do say layered. Not layered. How’d they do that without my noticing?
Damn, they did it again!
