Jul 24, 2001 Very whiskey like with a definitive oak barrel flavoring. Huge amounts of alcohol that is very evident, but also has some lingering malt sweetness. I couldn’t see finishing a bottle myself. Definately a nice sipper in snifter with a good cigar. A must for whiskey lovers, and cheaper as well.

Jul 28, 2005 Bottled. Pours a medium amber color. Aroma is malty and sweet with a little bit of fruitiness. Malty sweet flavor. Some dark fruitiness as well. Some roasted maltiness in the finish. Alcohol is not too noticable. Enjoyable brew.

Jun 10, 2003 Very malty. Extremely alcoholic and violent. Like a fine port wine. This beer makes you blush.

Jun 6, 2002 Rich, golden red colour with little head. It smells sweet, although a not too sweet to put you off. The strength of flavour is immense, with a fortified wine taste about it. I couldnt drink too much of it, but its a nice tasting drink.

Aug 30, 2005 Wow, what an oversite...I have not rated the first beer I legally drank, well time to fix this, served in my Expedition Snifter:
Takes on a rich amber cider hue with a fading head and little lace, oily film does appear and coat the glassware. The aroma has notes of granny smith apples, overripened fig, heavy caramel and crystal malt, butterscotch (but in a good way) and twinge of alcohol vapors. The taste starts with a massive dose of sweetness, malty and sugary. Supported by rich fruits and some pepper upon the finish. There is a hint of bitterness but it is far to subdued to do much good. I don’t think it is a sweet has other raters but still a bit over the top. The feel is warming for sure and does display a medical dryness after awhile. Good brew but not something i wish to have very often, which is better than the shocking first impression I had those twenty three years ago.

Feb 18, 2007 At a 11% this seems more like a tangerine cough syrup than a beer. Kulmbacker makes a better Eisbock than this one. Page 155 of Michael Jackson’s Great Beer Guide only 413 out 500 Classic Brews to go.

Apr 15, 2007 12oz bottle pours amber with a short beige head that was rather short lived. Aromas of alcohol, honey, and some caramel with a kiss of molasses. Flavor is caramel, molasses, alcohol, honey, and some grape skins. Full bodied with a sticky sweet palate and some alcohol heat at the finish.

Jul 7, 2006 11.2 oz bottle. Pours out a copper brown with a reddish tan head. Sweet sticky malt mainly in the aroma. Flavor was quite sweet with malt characteristics and touches of red apple juice and sherry with a nice alcohol burn on the finish. Pretty full and complex on the palate. For a strong beer, I liked this a lot, I guess much more than most people did here.
