guyinchicago (516), marengo, Illinois, USA Jul 14, 2009 Updated: Jul 16, 2009Hell yeah bottle thanks to beerman6686 and a darklord day trade pours black and clear with a reddish hue around the edges and a tan whippy head the color reminds me a lot of a swarz , the aromas are of malts, caramel,licorice,and dark fruits taste is roasted caramel malts,vanilla and picking up wood like oak and a little chocolate and licorice this might be the best lager I have ever had smooth and sweet and the alcohol is well hidden a masterpiece truely amazing brew beernovice39 (237), South Carolina, USA Jul 12, 2009 This poured easy and tasted even better. Aroma was sweet like molasses and flavor was smooth and nutty. Low carbonation and easy to drink. Maybe the alchol content is higher but I couldn’t tell by the taste. A treat! badlizard (2324), Berkeley, California, USA Jun 28, 2009 Tasted at the San Diego International Beer Festival. Dark copper with a creamy tan head. Sweet malty aroma and taste with a sugary finish. Allen (1282), Switzerland Jun 27, 2009 Bottled 33cl. Courtesy of joss. It pours a beautiful deep ruby brown beer with a creamy beige head which leaves a beautiful lacework. A huge amount of walnuts in the nose with hints of wood, caramel, marzipan and candy appearing. Reminiscence of some ageing. Quite a lot of walnuts in the taste. Low carbonation. Full bodied. Sweet. Great long sweet finish with a lingering sensation of walnut and sesame. Thanks a lot joss! cheapdark (2011), Monacatootha, Pennsylvania, USA Jun 25, 2009 How did I get such a highly rated beer for so cheap? Vintage of course. $2 for a 12 oz bottle. A darker thicker beer. Has a sweeter wheat aroma, quite enticing. Strong and thick on the buds from the beginning. Thick and oily alky impressions. Truly dizzying after a while and in yer face. Alky flavors almost like high gravity cheap american beers but stronger and thicker. Perhaps a bit more palatable than those cheapo HGs. Difficult to handle for this lager wooss any horn. I guess they can’t sell this in some states, woohoo. hheheheh T2Tool (352), Murfreesboro, Tennessee, USA Jun 19, 2009 This was my first Eisbock and all I can say is what took me so long to try this style. Poured from a bottle into a snifter. A nice dark brown color which looked similar to maple syrup. All types of stuff seemed to be going on in the aroma and sort of reminded me of port wine. Taste is really smooth and the alcohol never comes to the forefront. Picked up dried fruits, spicy hops and some sweet malt. It just really mixed well together. mar (1740), Rowlett, Texas, USA Jun 12, 2009 bottle thanks to my brother. dark brown with a nice cream head. nose is raspberries, sweet malts and some roastiness. very smooth on the palate with a berry flavor that has a hint of caramel in it. very smooth and very drinkable.
