Mouthfeel
is smooth mostly on the palate with a good touch of bitterness near the end.
Overall, this is a nice tasting, malty altbier with good flavors of bread/biscuit, dark fruit, and brown sugar. Somewhat reminiscent of Brewer's Art Resurrection, though with a bit more dark fruit and a touch more bitterness, and more of a lagery wheat feel (as to be expected). Quite drinkable. Nice version of a not often seen style.
My score: 90

Why would I take a picture of a mostly empty glass? Because it didn't occur to me take a picture until I was almost done!
