Apr 23, 2008 Bottle, thanks to Bu11zeye. Drank on April 22, 2008.......Pours a light cloudy brown with medium off-white head. Had a light sour, fruity aroma, similar to cherry pie. Flavor was malty sweet-light sour, very balanced, with nice alcohol spice. Had medium-full body with high carbonation......This was very good, thanks Bu11zeye for sharing.....

Feb 2, 2008 A 2004 bottle from Zac of Minnesota and served in my La Chouffe glass, many thanks for a chance to try this beer that I had almost given up on:
Deep muddy brown hue with reddish highlight, fading fizzy off-white head but left good lace work upon the glassware. Well I got a full nose of this beer, upon opening I placed my nose down towards the bottle only to be greeted by a foam straight up the nostril... actually that ROCKS! Notes of cherry candy and raspberry syrup, lactic acid, wood and cider, wheaties and baked biscuit, fresh cowhide, earthy herbal and floral notes, and just a dash of cobweb/cellar yeast esters. ROCKING, no really ROCKING
Thank goodness the taste is right up there with the nose, raspberry and cherry over a fresh oak barrel and some pie crust. I am at a rare loss of word of words here, this is a beautiful creation, wonderfully aged and meets almost every expectation I would ever want for a beer. know that.
Constantly powerful yet never over powering, this beer makes a statement I have not had from the Kuhnhenn Bros since my 1st experience with the Raspberry Eisbock in summer of 2003. WOW WOW WOW!!! This is why I keep a search for another perfect 5.
