Jul 22, 2008 pours a dark woody reddish brown with a medium sized off white head. smells like golden raisins that have been sitting around a bit too long and have started to spontaneously ferment. oh yeah, there’s some wood, malty grain and vanilla in there too. the palate is not as sweet as the aroma led me to believe... flavors of golden raisins without their sugar, grain, a bit of yeast and banana-like fruitiness from it, caramel, tiny bits of tannic leather and cocoa. a bit dry and woody on the finish. the yeasty fruit is present in the aftertaste. medium body with low carbonation. rather rich mouth feel but luckily not sticky. warm and boozy in the guts...

Jul 22, 2008 Pours reddish brown with one finger white head that dissapates into a thin film. Nose of cider, fermented fruits and sugary malt. Flavor is intensely sweet malt, but not cloying at all. Residual sugars are ever present, but not overwhelming. Palate is full but not viscous. Smooth and warming, with some alcohol near the finish. Somewhat dry finish. Not overly complex in terms of the malt character, but supremely tastey and quaffable.

Jul 22, 2008 Dark mahogany pour with dissipating head. Heavy malty flavor with alcohol presence. non too complex. A mouthful of yummy malt with a finish of alcohol and tad bit of date.

Jul 22, 2008 thank you belgianbeergal! This is delicious. My first eisbock!!! Pours a black color with a fluffy mostly white head that disappeared pretty quickly. forget the hops here, this is all syrup, malt, dried fruit, raisins, molasses. And that goes for the aroma and flavor. Sweet and smooth. What a sipper. Better as is warmed...man oh man I want more...more I say!!

Jul 22, 2008 Taste 7/8 bottle( Date?) Looks: Dark black cherry. Nice full bodied foam that clings. Aroma: Roast, dried fruit, caramel. Taste: Nice fruit and roast with a chocolate tinge. Medium bodied and a little sticky. Alcohol comes more warming than in the aroma. I imagine the cold process achieves this.

Jul 22, 2008 Bottle - Dark reddish brown pour with small simmering head. Liquor like malt quality with dark fruits and slight sweetness that slithers into the pallet. Has a fine aged quality that creeps in when it warms up. Smooth with some tasty roasted bitterness towards the end. Another one that I will have again soon.

Jul 18, 2008 Deep, dark mahogany. Sweet brown sugar and boozy sherry aroma. As this warmed up, a definite pruney aroma became apparent as well. Sweet and generously malty, molasses and bread crusts and stewed fruits, with a boozy warming finish. Better at higher temperatures-- much more restrained when chilled.

Jul 16, 2008 Bottle: A slightly sweet malty aroma not over powering. It poured a clean, clear medium brown wth a minimal head. The taste was superior, good malt character, but not overpowering not too sweet with a smooth finish. It’s a good thing I didn’t buy more or they may have all been gone in one sitting. "I’’ll be bock..."
