Nov 30, 2006 12oz bottle courtesy of kramer17801. Thanks, Jason! Pours a dark brown, slightly translucent with an orangish tinge; off-white head with decent retention at the edges. Nice aroma: fruit leather, toffee; hints of cocoa and caramel; alcohol well-hidden. Medium, chewy mouthfeel: similar to an amped-up doppelbock; caramel, roasted malts, bready notes, dried fruits and the slightest hint of citrus. Ends in chocolate and toffee on a medium-dry finish.

Nov 24, 2006 Malty aromas with some soy sauce and light alcohol. Almost black with ruby red highlights. Medium to full palate. The taste is massive malt with a yeast presence as well.

Nov 13, 2006 Very high marks for taste. I just love a strong lager. This one has a slightly fruity (apple) and toffee flavor. Almost no head, very little carbonation. Gorgeous dark red/brown. Full bodied yet not cloying. Great after dinner beer.

Nov 10, 2006 Updated: Dec 8, 2006Pours a very clear, but dark, amber with a tan head that dissipates quickly. The smell contains lots of malts, some roasted notes (toasted bread), some fruit (prunes), and some alcohol. The flavor is very malty and delightfully bittersweet from the hops. It starts off with a well balanced interplay of thick and doughy malts with floral and peppery hops. The carbonation provides some zip on the middle of the tongue along with a touch of alcohol bite. The finish is malty sweet with a nice dose of bitter hops and is surprisingly dry with a dry, complex after-taste. The mouthfeel is not as thick as its strength might suggest (the magic of "eis"bock). It is full-bodied, but not nearly so as other strong bocks. The finish is full-bodied, too - it isn’t a very dry beer, but than one might expect from a strong lager. Quite nice.

Oct 28, 2006 deep red/garnet color with a small, yet full bubbly tan head. smells of alcohol, deep fruits, prunes, plums and dark chocolate. tastes of chocolate, alcohol, egg, raisins and plum. a bit of a viscous mouthfeel. some florals in the background. very complex but not necessarily well balanced or tasty. but interesting.
