Aug 27, 2006 Bottle -- and what a bottle. These guys better rethink their packaging, or else between that silver bling label, the "Eis"beer
name, and the 9.2 ABV they’re likely to find themselves <a href="http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/l ">banned in Seattle along with a lot of similarly packaged "Ice" beers. Unless, of course, our governing protectors of civic mores actually bother to taste this one. Once out of the bottle, this one is nothing like any of the high-octane swill on the ban list.
The beer pours a beautiful deep brown with ruby highlights and a light tan head; it looks so nice that I’ll give it a 5 on appearance and pretend I never saw the bottle. The aroma is plums and dried fruit and molassas, some alchohol, vinous notes. The flavor is moderately sweet and decidedly rich - again molassas and dark fruit, hints of roast chocolate. The mouthfeel is creamy and thick but smooth with little alcohol burn considering the 9.2% ABV.
A very nice eisbock!

Aug 25, 2006 Amber/brown color, offwhite head. Malty vanilla aroma with some toffee. Malty fruity flavor. You can tell this is quite a strong beer.

Aug 24, 2006 Pours dark brown with ruby hues, and a very thin tan head. Aroma is caramelized wort and toffee. Taste is caramelized, syrupy stickiness. Mouthfeel is heavy bodied with light carbonation.

Aug 24, 2006 I didn’t really know this was such a highly rated brew when I bought it and -more important- drank it. However I should not let that change my opinion of the brew. :-) Aroma is quite okay. Sweetish dark fruits, malty. Black coloured with a thin, off-white/brown head. Taste is quite sweet, caramel malty, dark fruity. Massive body and quite sticky. Alcohol noticeable everywhere. This is not really my cup of sticky sirup.

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 8, 2006 Nutty, toasted bread, scotch aromas. Rich roasted grainy flavors with a little sweetness. Nice dark crisp clean tasting beer.
