| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Oct 22, 2009 Poured in a snifter. Beautiful dark amber color with a small head that disappears rather quickly. No lacing. Smells of big malts, some caramel, and brown sugar. Taste was huge in malt, brown sugar, raisins, and maybe some darker cherries. Really a good brew that gets a lot better as it warms up. Great for this time of year when it’s getting cold outside and you’re looking to warm up with a beer that has a lot of depth. One of my new favorites. Swalden28 (1446), McKinney, Texas, USA

Pours a nice looking deep dark brown with red hues and tan head. Aroma is of pure clean strong malt, prune and nice chocolate. Flavor is the same with nicely balanced bitter and nice warming alcohol spice. Mouth feel is medium-heavy body with medium-high carbonation. Overall, a very enjoyable beer....good shit!

| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | 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. lithy (1650), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA

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.

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.
