Apr 16, 2008 Best eisbock I’ve had (though I certainly haven’t had many). A nicely dark pour, with a gem-like glow in the middle, and a substantive head. Smells very much like a port, and even has some of the consistency thereof - figs, raisins, a touch of anise. But the sweet malts are balanced by that slight alkie burn that’s distinctive to this style, giving it a real sipper’s quality. Good stuff.

Mar 25, 2008 Bottle. 11.2 fl. oz. A very dark, amber color with nice, frothy, light tan head. Sweet aromas of raisins and malt. Full bodied with a soft, very dry mouthfeel. Flavor is very sweet with a nice amount of bitterness that forces its way through near the end, then lingers a while. Alcohol is nicely masked by the sweetness, but the warmth it provides tells you its there. Tasty.

Mar 22, 2008 Dark auburn purplish color. No head at all. Aroma is faint. I’m only able to pick up a bit of maltiness. Notable carbonation on palate. Complex array of flavors. Toasty syrupy maltiness with plum. Hoppy balance at the end.

Mar 20, 2008 Pours dark amber with small brown head. Very sweet smelling nose of roasted malt. Flavor is really sweet at first, then settles down were you have a more complex flavor of lightly toasted malt with a decent amount of alcohol. Very smooth texture and nice clean finish.

Mar 15, 2008 [Bottle] Pours dark red with a small light tan head. Aroma is sweet malt with light alcohol and raisin present as well. Taste is malty, alcohol, what I believed to be light barley in the finish. Medium-thick mouthfeel with a long finish. A little heavy on the alcohol, but very nice overall.

Thick brown in color with okay head. Smells like burning caramel and alcohol. Sweet alcohol malt flavor. Feels like much more than 9.2%. Just heavy and thick and too much booze but I liked the woodsy caramel tones in the flavor quite a bit. If it had a little less present alcohol - I would have enjoyed it much more.

Mar 10, 2008 Pours a very dark garnet color with some clarity and a moderately full, beige, creamy head which settles quickly to a small frothy layer leaving some nice lace. Nose is rich but faint for an eisbock; toasted caramels, chocolate, light notes of date, and some light roasted almond notes. Flavor is big and rich like it should be with rich toffee, toasted caramel, light molasses notes, dates, roasted almonds, and some hints at chicory. Palate is nearly full, almost lively, and somewhat viscous but still somewhat crisp. Finishes quickly with lingering toasted caramels and roasted almonds and only the slightest warmth. Bitterness is almost non-existant but never becomes cloyingly sweet. Not as big or sweet as I was expecting but quite drinkable and certainly pleasant. Lots of rich notes but still the crispness of a lager.
