| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 7, 2005 One of the two styles that are still lacking in my beer list: Eisbock. Amber coloured. Malty aroma with rye. Pretty sweet brew, and the alcohol isn’t even that obvious. And so now i only have to drink a cream ale... ukoolaid (572), Amherst, Massachusetts, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | May 4, 2005 Bottle. Brownish red with quickly vanishing head. Very sweet malty aroma. Taste is sticky sweet like surup. I am already a bit drunk and this is still warming and strong. Gonna get me messed up, but not a great beer. Eyedrinkale (3209), Astoria, New York, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | May 4, 2005 Bottle shared with Bret. Murky amber color with a small head. Awesome malty aroma. Taste is sweet, yet dry with some dried fruits. Slightly smokey and really drinkable. ojclark (69), Santa Monica, California, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 3, 2005 Updated: May 4, 2005Bottle. Roasty, malty, burnt caramel aroma with hints of vanilla, marzipan and slight alcohol. Clear amber/brown color with a thick tan head that lasted quite a while. Raisiny, malty, slightly sweet with some alcohol in flavor. Hop bitterness became apparent in aftertaste but was overshadowed up front. Effervescent with fine carbonation. Full bodied, almost chewy but not cloying. Medium finish with some alcohol apparent in aftertase along with bitterness and some sweetness. Big and complex but very well executed and well balanced. joergen (8450), Frederiksberg, Denmark

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Apr 26, 2005 Wow, this certainly needs a year or two in the bottle. I was just blown away. very syrupy, port like, and very strong. The 11 % doesn’t hide itself here. Almost like turning the termostat up as you drink it. The hops are very sharp and distance themselves from the malt. I really don’t believe that it’s cloying or oversweet. It really reminds me of Samiclaus, and at a fraction of the price. I think that with a year of cellaring you have yourself a wonderful night cap in the dead of winter. ElJefe (553), Rochester, New York, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Apr 23, 2005 Medium brown with an off white head. Aroma of sweet apples and banana. Flavor of banana, bubblegum, cotton candy a bit too sweet and cloying and too syrupy. Miguel (1181), Saint-Ours, Quebec, Canada
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Apr 19, 2005 Robe dorée à cuivrée très claire surmontée d’une mousse blanche automatiquement disparue. Arômes de malts munich et d’alcool. Saveurs de jus de raisin, d’alcool, de fruits rouges, de caramel. Les arômes embaument carrément la bouche. Houblon de soutien. Très intéressant...
