Kulmbacher Eisbock

Outstanding beer of the month club selection. Wish I could find more around here. very high marks a great winter beer full bodied full of flavor finishes better then the start.

Bottle: Clear, deep ruby-amber coloured, mid-sized, slowly diminishing tanned head; distinctive fruitiness dried fruits, raisins) in the caramelly and toasted-malty nose, accompanied by illusions of molasses and shy hops; solid sweet flavour, full bodied, a bit sticky; sweet dark-malty finish, some raisins detectable, followed by a roasted-malty bitterness and a hoppy bitterness. Impressive heavy stuff.......

mice dark ruby color, nice tan head that dissapears, nose is malt caremel, a little alcohol and raisins. Flavor is dried fruit alcohol, smoke, nose changes to maple syrup as it warms, gets a syrupy mouthfeel. Nice warming feeling.

Bottle shared by JohnathanL at tasting. Thanks!
Pours dark brown to black and looks like coca-cola in the glass with little head. Smell and flavor are both of strong dark malty caramel and alcohol. Notes weren’t particularly long on this beer, but the strong toffee like caramelly sweetness was what mostly stood out. The alcohol wasn’t overpowering in the flavor though.

Poured a clear amber/ brown color with a nice off-white head that stayed a while. Aroma is of roasted malt, caramel, and chocolate. Flavor is made up of caramel, chocolate, toffee and some dark fruit. Alcohol is hidden well. Mouthfeel is pleasant and this is a nice beer.

This is a JUuly 11, 1996 that says 24% on the label...must mean plato! Brown, rich brown malt aroma...very slight carbonation. Overall very nicely aged and tasty...I want more.

Candy like flvor that is way too sweet and syrupy. No head when I poured it into a glass. chewy and creamy but overly tart and sweet. Not a drinkable beer but not terrible on a cold dark winter night when a glass of wine just won’t do.

(33cl bottle from a six-pack, bought in Bischberg, Franconia) Clear, mahogany colour with a massive beige foamy head. Molassy sweet and intense dark and toasted malt aroma with caramel, chocolate and dried fruits (prunes). Sweet flavour, full bodied with a soft and pleasant carbonation and a viscid mouthfeel. Rich and aromatic roasted malty taste with caramel, liquorice and lighter notes of chocolate; molassy sweet but not sticky strong malty finish with a whiff of herbal hops. The alcohol is very well hidden and never offensive. An aromatic, also a bit deceptive malt juice in the positive sense (25.02.08).
