Supplier: Beer52
A third from the Beer52 box, from an experimental offshoot of the the Braustelle brewery based in Cologne. This is their Doppelsticke Alt (the Altbier version of the Doppelbock), and is an attempt to update this historical beer style. I served this at room temperature.

Appearance: Brown ale with a maroon tint. There is a beige head that dissipates almost instantly.
Aroma: Malty with a hint of saltiness like Marmite. Some fruity notes, a bit like cassis.
Flavour: Just like it smells, very salty with some maltiness.
Body: Reasonably viscous with not too much carbonation.
Aftertaste: A slight bitterness with a hint of soap.
Overall: Therefore this gets a rating of 3, It has some nice flavours but is too salty and has some other not too nice flavours.
Price Range: Part of the box of 8 I got for £12 (usually £24), so it works out at £1.50 for a 330ml bottle; too much for not a great beer.
Food Pairings: The saltiness would go quite well with some white fish such as in a fish and chip meal.
