Bam, a capital Eisbock? thats what I like to see. Pours a clear ruby with some hints of a head. Aromas of dark sugars, caramel, cereal malt sweetness, a bit of hops and light alcohol. Flavor is strong caramel malt, light bitter chocolate, dark fruits. Sweetness is kept in check with some light bitterness and alcohol. Full mouthfeel. Overall, pretty nice.

12oz bottle from Orland Park Binny’s single rack. Pours clear amber with small off-white head. Aroma is spices, caramel, and toasted malts. Flavor is spicy with some bread, toasted and pale malts, caramel, and some very light hops. Booze is pretty well hidden. Smooth on palate but still has decent carbonation. I remember Autumn Fire being a lot more hoppy and even more flavorful. Overall this is not to bad.

Welcome back Eisphyre! Pours deep amber brown. Extremely clear, with thin creamy,tan head. Aroma is deep and malty. Mild spiciness. Taste to match. Definately a little more depth and mouthfeel than the Autumnal Fire. Subtle differences. Residual alcohol warmth.

12oz bottle. Pours a beautiful clear, a bit viscous, glowing bright rich red auburn, gorgeous color, small fine white fizzy froth. Aroma similar to Automnal Fire, hint of cinnamon, rich grassy munich, a hint of alcohol, grabs at the nostrils, light fruitiness. Flavor follows, it’s Automnal Fire but iced, rich, sweeter, sticky (not in a bad way), slighlty boozier, so smooth and well melded flavors while maintaining an aggressive flavor profile. Medium/full bodied, seems a bit sticky and syrupy at first but the slightly sharp fluffy fizzy carbonation settles it to be very drinkable. Lovely, complete beer, well rounded high abv beer.

12 fl oz bottle, courtesy of CaptainCougar. Pours hazy to murky brown with a small off-white head. Aroma is solid malty, overripe fruity to wineous. Bitter and slight fruity, light hoppy flavoured. Smooth overripe fruity impression throughout. Dry and fruity lingering finish.

2003 bottle shared by psprings... a hazy orange tinted brown pour is capped by a small beige-ish white head. it smells and tastes like unfermented wort... throw in some toffee, stale grain and raisins. alcohol tries to dry it out and keep the medium-thick body from being too syrupy. meh...5/4/5/3/13/3.0
