Amber with a long lasting dense head. Heavy aroma of alcohol, sirup and toffee. Complex flavours bordering on sweet cloying alcohol, but also with wood, oil, burned caramel and wet soil making it interesting.

does not count  Jul 17, 2008 Gave off an aroma of sweet maple and gave off a similar taste. It had a somewhat upfront alcohol palate. Nice amber color and left a nice lacing in the glass...almost like a fine wine. Recommended for those looking for something new.

Jul 16, 2008 Holy crap. Got this because I liked their Eisbock....didnt realize what i was getting into. 11%, but actually hides it pretty well. It’s a lot like a good scotch or sherry. It packs a punch but it’s really good.
The aroma was not that great, thank goodness the flavor was pretty different from that. It smelled like it would be too sweet, and kind of gross. It wasn’t at all though...another good Eisbock down!

Jul 10, 2008 Exquisit one, I was very dizzy at the end of it but I liked it very much. It is dark and very alcoholic, with good head.

does not count Jul 9, 2008 Very bold flavor smells like a fruity alcoholic syrup. Can taste the bite of high alcohol content, but the intense smell and flavor help cover it. Takes a few sips to adjust to such a different flavor, but at the end your feeling good and wanting more.

Jul 5, 2008 THOUGHTS: Had been waiting to try this beer for years, but couldn’t see paying over $20 for a 6 pack , but I finally found a single bottle for sale. It’s mostly just a bunch of alcohol, but it’s also full of flavors, so it’s not that bad, but not great either. A lot like Samichlaus, just not as good. Very liquor-like.
TECHNICAL: Bottle. Poured a clear, dark amber with small to medium body particles of a thin density and an average-sized, off white head that mostly lasted and left good lacing. The aroma was heavy caramel, lost of alcohol, citrus, some fruitiness and whiskey notes. The initial flavor was moderately sweet; while the finish was heavily sweet and light to moderately bitter with an average duration. There was whiskey, caramel malt, citrus and then a little metallic hops with slight smoke too. The medium to full body was oily and a little syrupy with fizzy carbonation and a moderate to heavy alcoholic finish.
