We also threw in some unique spices (caraway and fennel) resulting in a subtle "bready" flavor with a touch of licorice in the finish. Altbier (5.8%abv): Light and crisp with an emphasis on the malt. Deep ruby red in color and fermented cool then lagered for 2 months to promote the crispness of the style. We brewed this in the German tradition incorporating a double decoction mash to pull out the intricate flavors of the malt. Old 8 Porter wins crowd favorite at Winterfest The intimate crowd of 230 people voted the Old 8 Porter as their favorite at Winterfest this year. We share the award with Great Waters as the crowd also highly enjoyed their Imperial Wit, resulting in a dead tie. Next year the attendance limit will be doubled, so if you didn't get to go this year your chances are better for next.
