saxo (3513), Højbjerg, Aarhus, Denmark Jun 28, 2006 Bottle. Beautiful big tan head with medium duration. Color is dark ruby. Aroma is sweet and fruity with lots of spices. Taste is sweet and complex. Walt (2289), Chicago, Illinois, USA Jun 23, 2006 2004: Pour is dark dark opaque brown with a thin tan head...smell is sweet, molasses, hints of oxidation, taste is sweet and rather flavorless...maybe some molasses, wood, vanilla, dark fruits, but some relatively up front oxidation....it plays well with the flavors though... EithCubes (2140), Indiana, USA Jun 22, 2006 Bottle. Opaque dark brown, ruby under light, with a brown head. Sweet and mildly alcoholic nose with some candy sugar and brown sugar, mostly malty. Sweet taste is sludge-thick, great body; woody, dark malts, molasses, brown sugar, and warming alcohol. Dry with juust enough hops. Slightly sticky with a lasting aftertaste. Strong and bursting with flavor, had to forcibly slow myself down. I strongly agree with Papsoe - this has a lot in common with a trappist. acertain (249), Seattle, Washington, USA Jun 22, 2006 Pours dark ruby red with a small off-white head. Aroma is of raisins, mollassas. Very thick in the mouth. Flavor is mildly sweet and echoes the aroma. Definite alcohol warming at the end. rebelbrewer (125), Lithonia, Georgia, USA Jun 17, 2006 11.2 ounce bottle poured into an Aventinus Eisbock glass. Very dark brown brew with a minimal tan head that disappeared quickly. Molasses and spice aroma with the same taste. There is no hint of the alcohol in this Eisbock and it is very drinkable. rederic (1787), montréal, Quebec, Canada Jun 13, 2006 Bottle best before 31/12/03, dark mahogany color, with a tan head, sweet caramelized malt nose, with toasted malt, fruit cake note, candied dark fruits, hint of chocolate in the aroma follows through on a full-bodied malty palate, with a nice malted character, beautiful fruity chocolatey accent, toasted malt, hint of raisin, plum fruitiness, molasses, leading towards a sweet malty fruity finish, with the alcoholic content well hidden. shrubber85 (2836), Wallhalben, Germany Jun 12, 2006 Bottle. Light raspberry swirl / strawberry ice cream and alcohol aroma. Opaque cola brown color - no head. Very complex flavor - light strawberry malt with hints of wood smoke up front - the maltiness crescendos with a masterfully blended hops, alcohol and astringent flavor coming out towards the end. A chewy hops flavor lasts long after swallowing and a nice tingle on the lips. This beer is truly a work of art. pantani (1894), Salinas, California, USA Jun 9, 2006 berries, caramel, butterscotch, looks like pepsi. Tastes of oak, toffee and caramel.
