Baron Seven Swabians Eisbock

Brewed by Baron Brewing & Lunar Brewing
Style: Eisbock
Seattle, Washington USA

(22oz bottle, thanks acrdz) Small off-white head atop cloudy dark amber body. Aroma is moderately sweet, caramel, some cherry, syrup. Taste is sweet, caramel, some cherry. Sticky full body, minimal carbonation.

Bottle... Cloudy orange lager with a small, fizzy, white head that dissipates almost immediately. Rich, fruity aroma. Honey and black cherries rise from the glass... light apricot too. Surprisingly thin for the style and accompanying high ABV. Medium to full-bodied with a dry mouthfeel and seltzer-like carbonation. Medium sweetness, mildly acidic and lightly bitter. Drinks like a 7% beer, but I do have a small buzz after only ½ of a glass. Crisp, mostly clean finish. Sort of refreshing... never thought I’d say that about an 13% eisbock. Odd for the style, but very good overall. Kudos to explosivebeer for shipping this one from the Northwest!

Bottle thanks to 5000: Pours a hazy copper orange with a thin ring of wispy white head. Aroma of light caramel malt and lager yeast with some tart strawberry notes that seem reminiscent of an infection. Body starts with decent fullness and caramel toffee sweetness with some peppery alcohol and lightly tart fruity character. Pretty easy to drink, but could be modeled off a better base beer.

22oz bottle from John’s Marketplace in Portland. Hazy dark brown and wheat colored body. Nose of faint and dusty, minerally yeast, boozy alcohol and wet bread with a touch of over-ripened oranges. Flavor is bran, corn, toast, booze, heavy caramel and chewy, soggy old and damp grains, a little putrid even, finishing with some sweet corn and heavy caramel. Not good at all, sorry to say. It’s a boozy caramel apple mess.

Bottle. Pours a pale amber color with a small off-white head. Has a malty fruity slightly alcoholic aroma with some weak hints of hops. Sweetish fruity malty warming alcohokic flavor. Has a sweetish malty fruity warming caramel finish.

Poured a hazy amber color with an off-white head. Sweet fruity malt but not the dark fruits I had expected. No alcohol fumes at all for 13 percent. Mildly sweet anf fruity. Notes of browned apple flesh. Light to medium body. I would have expected something bigger. Mild chest warmth.

Picked up a single 22-oz bomber via trade with 5000. Pours a semi-clear golden amber brew with a thin off-white head that quickly dissipates to a thin white ring. Aroma of caramel malt, some tropical fruit and floral hops. Taste is medium bodied, high alcohol character with flavors of caramel, brown sugar, and a touch of vanilla. Finish is slightly metallic with a caramel and light fruit aftertaste that slowly dissipates clean.

Bottle from Suzziegreenberg thanks ben. Bomber to be exact A bright orange pour wiht a bright white ring. Nose is malty and does not hint at a high abv. Taste is quite sweet and very clean. Not boozy in my opinion. Decent American eisbock.
