Another of my faves! This is an excellent beer. Strong alcohol notes throughout. Not very carbonated. Golden brown to brown red in color. Excellent as a digestif or dessert. Try it with a shot of Scotch in it as me and my friends do (then known as Luftwaffe Fuel!). Talk about strong!! HIGHLY recommended! It"s even better when aged!

My first eisbok -- very much like a barleywine. Poured dark transparent red-brown, little head. Aromas of sweet malt, toffee, molasses, yeast, chocolate and alcohol. Flavor was intense sweet, toasty malt, caramel, chocolate, coffee, port wine, toffee, dark fruit and yeast. Not much hop flavor, but good bitterness in the background. Nice smooth finish. Mouthfeel was thick and chewy. Excellent.

Lovely strong aroma, with an excellent palate. The finish warms the body on the coldest night. It's too bad it's such a strong beer; I'd love to drink it more!

This is a favorite of mine - perfect for nursing over a quiet winters night. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer pours a crystal clear deep mahogany color with very little head that disappears very quickly. The brew has the texture of of brandy without the burn. The aroma is sweet and nutty. There is a burst of sweetness, plum and molasses in the flavor. Some faint bitterness lingers. There is some alcohol burn. Definitely a slow sipping beer more reminiscent of wine or brandy. A classic.

<b>Apperance</b>: pours with a clear, dark amber-copper color and a light head of foam that settles very quickly. Moderate levels of carbonation make this a pleasantly lively lager. <b>Aroma</b>: Wow. Intense and very interesting/complex. Some nutty hazelnut aromas ride on top of a Solera Sherry-like base. A suggestion of sweetness. <b>Flavor & Finish</b>: Sweet entry, like an Extra Cream Sherry. The nut tones are somewhat surprising. This beer finishes with some warmth that travels down to the stomach. A very powerful, thick, sweet &#40;but not cloyingly so&#41;, and heavy malt bomb with a long, long finish. A great sipping beer that you’d almost want to pour in a brandy glass. I love this beer.
