Nov 12, 2003 Strong caramel and mustiness on the aroma of this copper-bodied brew. Flavor is much the same- caramel and musty malts, with a light fruity essence. Alcohol is surprisingly subdued, but this beer is not too interesting regardless of its strength.

Jun 28, 2004 Updated: Dec 10, 2008[bottle - Great European Beerfest 8, Sharp Edge Tavern - East Liberty, PA] The first eisbock I ever had. Poured a deep copper red with a creamy looking white head. Very rich aroma of hops blended with sweet malts, caramel and toffee and some clove as well. Isn’t as sweet in the flavor as I thought it would be. It has sweetness to it, but also a decent balance of hops and alcohol. Very thick and chewy.

Jan 8, 2002 Pretty poor. Beer has no head, which is expected by such a strong lager. Whsikey, oak and stuff come to mind. Too much alcohol. Hard to finish a bottle, share with a good pal.

Sep 23, 2008 Bottled@EBF 2008. Brilliant deep amber color, virtually no head. The aroma has a soft, delicate sweet and nutty malt profile, lots of ripe fruits and a noticeable, but inoffensive alcohol scent. Taste is vinous, gently sweet, full malty with a plummy fruitiness. Notes of mild bittering hops, molasses and port. Chewy mouthfeel. Full-bodied. A pleasant alcohol heat in the finish. Powerful and balanced. A treat.

Oct 13, 2002 Strong caramel-toffee cookie aroma. Light clear amber appearance with small head. Some orange peel notes in aroma. Strong bready-caramel toffee flavor. Rather sweet - borderline cloying. Lightly spicy hop finish. Some light fruity notes and a candyish quality in the finish.

Jul 1, 2006 Is this what happens when your only goal is to make a beer with high ABV? There are many beers with this level of alcohol that are so much better. The beer pours clear brown with a reddish tint and an uneven soapy light tan head that disappears very quick. Aroma is rich caramel and alcohol - lots of sweetness. Syrupy thick body with very little carbonation. Flavor starts with alcohol and caramel - rich and sweet. Finish has even more alcohol - warm finish. Whilst this has lots in the ABV department it is quite boring and unimpressive.
