May 16, 2007 A Mes rate:
Bottle at Ølfestival 2007. My first beer of the festival (seeing as Sim managed to pinch my Ølfabrikken Ekstra!) One of those I have just never got round to trying. Glad I did eventually. Barley wine looks with a good tan head. Very wheaty and more barley in the nose. Typical strong German bock in the mouth. Strong dark and powerful. Chunky and fruity with plenty of hops showing. Strong, dark and powerful with a great creamy palate. Great start.

May 15, 2007 Bottle. @ Copenhagen Øl Festival. Small fizzy white head that mostly diminished. Dark mahogany color. Rye bread, caramel and some fruit and burned notes. Medium to full bodied with an average carbonation and hint of an alcoholic texture. Well balanced malty sweet flavor with some burned bitterness. Lingering sweet finish.

May 8, 2007 Tap at Capone’s. Dark brown with ruby hi-lites. Taste of toffee, raisins, chocolate and cherries. A little heat, but very nice overall. Mostly sweet finish. Beautiful beer!

May 6, 2007 This is one of favorite beers. Pours very dark in color with little head. Has a caramel sweet aroma. The taste is malty with a slight smokiness along with hints of coffee and chocolate. Absolutely delicious.

May 1, 2007 12 oz bottle. Drank a couple of these this afternoon with my Neighbor, Tom. Well, actually we had several of these, which lit us up like a 3 alarm fire. This stuff is super dark, almost black. It has a very belgian-esque aroma. Taste is smooth as silk: Toffee, fruit, caramel and nice roasty malts. Reminded me of a Quad, as a matter of fact. I bought a six pack of this stuff at Holingshead several weeks ago and I wish I would have bought several cases, because now it’s gone, and I haven’t a clue where to find it in San Diego. For shame.

Apr 27, 2007 Got three bottles of this as part of a beer of the month club about two years ago. Drank one, and didn’t care for it...so I stored the other two. What a difference it made letting this sit in the cellar for a while. The pour was dark amber with a big head with large bubbles. The head was deep and very sticky. I smelled chocolate, malt and raisins. The taste was very warm and smooth, with carmel and some roastiness. Very nice Eisbock.
