Apr 8, 2007 One bottle from BOTW. Poured a large tan head. Poured a dark stained oak with thin tan head. The aroma was of sweet malts, cherry fruitiness, a bit of alcohol and a hint of caramel sweetness. The flavor starts with a thick dark fruity sweetness and sweet caramel. Then the malts fade and the fruitiness takes on a complexity with apple and date notes. The beer taste ends sweet, fruity, caramel, a tad nutty and some alcohol warmth.

Mar 28, 2007 This was my first Eisbock and I hope I chose well! Pours very dark in the glass but when held up to the light appears ruby red and brown. The head is medium thin and dark tan, doesnt last too long. The aroma is fairly complex and remeniscent of a traditional ale. Ripe dates, sweet, slight alcohol, faint caramel, molasses, and a sort of mustiness. The flavor isn’t quit as upfront as the aroma. Taste mostly molasses and mellow aged raisins and dates. Also has that mustiness to it. The alcohol is well done. The palate is very nice, thick, smooth, and full. The finish is very warming and satisfying. The more you drink this beer the more pleasent it is. The alcohol settles in your stomach and leaves you with this internal warming sensation. Reminds me of old, not like old food or old people. Just like something that would have been more popular hundreds of years ago, but thats just me.

Mar 28, 2007 The color was a medium/dark chocolate with amber hues. The head was creamy light beige. The aroma was molasses, brown sugar, raisin, sweet malt, and aged. The flavor was molasses, sweet malt, alcohol, a little tart, a little bourbon, and musty. The palate was very smooth and the finish was very warm.

Mar 26, 2007 2004 bottle. Pours brown with a trace of a head that doesn’t stick around very long. Smells of sugar, dark fruit, some splashes of matl. Taste is pronounced sweetness with lots of dark fruity elements. Served as an after dinner cordial. Very nice!

Mar 24, 2007 Very, very tasty beer. Pours a dark brown with a slight hint of red when held up to the light. One-finger light tan head that dissipates quickly. Sweet malty aroma with hints of dark, dried fruits and alcohol. Thick, syrupy mouth-feel. Flavor reflects aroma with more alcohol presence. Excellent.

Mar 20, 2007 12oz bottle. i thought on the last day of winter this would be a good send off. pours a dark reddish brown with small tan head, but the color just does it for me. aroma has really big sweet plums and raisins. flavor is pretty sweet with dark fruits, plums, raisins, and black cherries, with nice toffee and caramel supporting the fruit. alcohol is well hidden. perhaps body is a tad thin. a tasty eisbock indeed!
