Jun 1, 2007 Updated: Mar 10, 2008In bottle during Dark Lord Day ’07. I thought this was just outstanding-- the flavor was great out of a bottle. Like the bigger brother of the dopplebock-- it had all that malty flavor with a little more alcohol bite hiding behind it. I would buy this again if I see it on the shelf. This beer also inspired me to attempt to make an eisbock next winter. This beer was just outstanding.

Jun 1, 2007 Bottle courtesy of HogTownHarry. Pours an incredibly bubbly clear deep ruby with a large lasting tan head -- nice! Sweet yet roasty aroma with burnt sugar, caramel, chocolate, molasses, and hops. Wonderful flavour of toasty malt, burnt brown sugar, caramel, dark fruit and more -- nice and complex. Alcohol’s well hidden. Medium to full bodied. This is fantastic stuff, not too sweet and really easy to drink, definitely one of the best Eisbocks out there.

May 30, 2007 Bottle: Rich ruby colored pour with a small beige head that is quickly gone. Nose is sweet with dark fruits, malts, and brown sugar. The taste is initially sweet with dark fruits and evolves into a malty, molasses, dark fruits blend. A very nice balance of flavors that is not overly sweet. Very good.

May 28, 2007 Very sweet aroma, syrupy and malty. Taste is as malty as expected, and very heavy with woody notes and definite fig/raisin flavor. Aftertaste is a strong kick of alcohol.

May 25, 2007 12 oz bottle. Pours bold mahogany with thin ivory head. The aroma is oak, red wine, sour cherries, brown sugar, slight chocolate, anise, and flowers. The flavor is brown sugar and oak, with a very faint sour note. Some woody bitterness comes out, too. Smooth sweetness sticks around throughout. Light alcohol is detectable, but not intrusive at all. Pretty good.

May 20, 2007 Bottle, thanks Hogtown Harry. Dark ruby red, little head. Nice malty, nutty, sweet alcohol aroma. Great taste - rich, malt, light hops, intense sweetness. Complex, thick body. Great sipper - Rudy, did you really order a pitcher of this for us on the last round in Buffalo a few weeks back? Yikes...

May 18, 2007 Rated 4/22/06: Pours a deep dark ruby color with little head and no lacing. Interesting sweet aroma that touches on a fruity overtone. Thick full mouthfeel very nice. The flavor is what really pulls this ice bock together. The malts are extremely sweet almost too sweet but then there are flavors of figs and raisins with some caramel and even a touch of chocolate. Very complex indeed. The finish is smooth and of course sweet. Enjoyable but definately on a limited basis.
