Oct 4, 2009 11.2oz bottle. First eisbock I’ve had. Black and opaqe with a pretty tan head - very nice looking, and the darkest lager I’ve seen. The color contrast of the fairly light head and the black beer is very appealing. Aroma of caramel, candy sugar, figs, lots of plum, and almost a little wood. Beautiful rich caramel flavor, heavy and lots of depth. Chocolate, raisins, molasses, even a little cherry can be found. This beer has a lot of weight to it - the body’s heavy, very smooth and pleasant on the tongue. A bit of warming alcohol shows through, reminding me that this is a big beer. A big success, as well - eisbock is a rare treat, and I’ll certainly be searching for more of them.

Oct 1, 2009 Bottle thanks to nqualls. Admission up front, this isn’t really my favorite style. Dark dark brown, creamy light tan head. Big prune aroma, caramelized sugar, caramel, cocoa. Taste is more fruity, prunes, plums, caramel, sugar, very sweet, light alcohol warmth.

Sep 18, 2009 Bottle. Pours a dark amber with a paperthin light copper head that diminishes quickly to nothing and a lot of carbonation. The aroma is sweet caramel malt with dark fruit. Thin mouthfeel with a sweet fruity malt flavor with raisin and cherries. Hides the alcohol very well making it easy to drink. A very impressive Eisbock from Kulmbacher.
