May 26, 2005 Updated: May 27, 2005Bottled. Clear amber colour. Very quickly diminishing head. Aroma of dark fruits, most prominently plums and strawberries. Otherwise malty and sweet. At first the taste is dominated by sweetness with a malty base. Then dark fruits come through, mostly plums, but no strawberries. Finish is suprisingly hoppy and bitter for such a sweet bock-beer. Mediumbodied with a normal mouthfeel. I don´t know why this beer gets such a bad rep from many people. I, for myself, liked it, especially the aroma.

May 26, 2005 (Bottle 33 cl) Used to be the world’s strongest brew - now just one of the strongest... Beautiful, deep amber colour, rather small, white head. Delicate almost sherry-like notes, some sweetness and a lightly smoked character reminding me of whisky. Loads of alcohol, but never unpleasant. Great beer indeed. 040899

May 19, 2005 Poured a golden amber with a sparce head. Aroma was sweet and malty with some apples thrown in. Very malty sweet with more apples and a good amount of alcohol warming. The sweetness covers the alcohol taste though. Full-bodied.

May 19, 2005 bottle. Dark amber. Medium white head, disinegrates into lacing. Malty aroma. Super malty sweet taste, some hops. Slight alcohol burn.
Tons better than Anheuser World Select.
I love Eisbocks

May 18, 2005 Amber beer with a white head that vanished instantly. Aroma of sweet malt and alcohol. Flavor is very sweet somewhat offset by bitter hops. I get a lot more alcohol than other raters, but not in a bad way. A very nice warming beer, but I would prefer a Samichlaus.

May 18, 2005 Bottle, at No. 5.
Dark golden with white head, fully disappearing. No lacings. Aroma very sweet. Flavor first very sweet (fruity), ending in a fine bitterness. Medium body, oily/creamy, the strength is felt.

May 12, 2005 Aroma is rather un inspiring. Yeah, its big and maly. I get a lot of alcohol too. Appearance is fine. Poured amber/orange with a completly disapating head. Maybe a dark cherry with some toastyness. Bitterness comes out good. Kind of slick across the tounge. Alcohol makes it pretty thin.
I would have expected more from a beer with MJ’s recomendation right on the bottle.
