Aug 17, 2006 Pours a dark ruby red with an OK light tan head. Aroma of raisins and coffee. Sweet vinous taste along with dried fruit, smokey malt, and maple. Very interesting beer. 9.2% ABV is virtually undetectable, except for a feeling of warmth long after the swallow.

Aug 17, 2006 12 oz bottle into a Snifter glass. Pours a dark, dark brown that is just barely see through the tiniest bit. A tiny tanned head forms and dissolves quickly. The aroma has very big nutty, toasty, and roasty nose. Hints of coffee are mixed in between. The flavor has a huge hazlenutty roasted start which moves into a dark fruit, chocolatey, and very smooth alcohol finish. The roasted alcohol lingers on the palate for quite a bit after the sip. You can taste the alcohol, but it’s not overpowering at all. A very balanced and solid Eisbock!!

Aug 2, 2006 Bottle from State Line. Deep brownish pour with 1-finger khaki head. Aroma of Roasty malt, brown sugar, dark fruit, nuts, cacao. Tastes roasty malty, with blackberry, plum, cherry, brown sugar, and hop notes. Nice complexity and palate heft, with well hidden alcohol. This one is a standout.

Jul 31, 2006 Pours dark reddish brown, tan head. Aroma is dark fruit, raisiny. Flavor sweet, not overpowering, caramel, toffee, brown sugar, more dark fruit and a slight nuttiness. There is a slight alcohol burn at the very end, but not severe. Very smooth for the alcohol level. Nice!!

Jul 31, 2006 Appearance is pretty average but that’s all that is average about this beer. Very dark brown with a bit of a reddish hue... medium frothy tan head that dissipated extremely quickly with no lacing. Beautiful aroma of sweet cherries and malts. Flavor is a fairly simple blend of malts and sweets... mostly cherries and some caramel. Not overly complex but still delicious. No detection of the high alcohol content. Excellent.
