Jun 19, 2009 This was my first Eisbock and all I can say is what took me so long to try this style. Poured from a bottle into a snifter. A nice dark brown color which looked similar to maple syrup. All types of stuff seemed to be going on in the aroma and sort of reminded me of port wine. Taste is really smooth and the alcohol never comes to the forefront. Picked up dried fruits, spicy hops and some sweet malt. It just really mixed well together.

Jun 6, 2009 Pours a dark amber brown with medium off-white head. Aroma strong of roasted malt, alcohol, and dried fruit. Flavor matches, but alcohol overwhelms the senses in this one. Bitterness shines through eventually and the aftertaste is more pleasant than the initial taste. Drinkable, but nothing I need very often.

Jun 4, 2009 12 oz. served in a pint glass. Excellent, syrupy sour cherry aroma, and crystal clear dark amber or red in color. No head to speak of, though it did pour well. Great caramelly and roasted flavor. Can definitely taste the alcohol.

Jun 2, 2009 Dark ruby pour. Strong aroma. Smells of fermented fruit and aged grapes. Definitely a red wine type of flavor with a slightly dry finish. Alcohol is not tasted at all. My first eisbock and a superb sample!

May 31, 2009 Very dark brown with amber highlights. No head.
Fruity. Warm alcohol. Not really sweet. Not bitter.
Fizzy, medium body.
Not really a style for me. Too flat, too alcohol balanced.

May 28, 2009 33 cl. bottle. Pour a thick but short lived head, over a clear dark amber (SRM 20) body..... nose of raisin, plum, ginger, cinnamon, no hops, minimal alcohol....tastes of molasses, spices, with rich malty sweetness throughout, and a mild bitter dry finish.....mouth feel is thick and chewy. Meets the style to a "T".

May 26, 2009 Bottle. Aroma of caramel, bread, dried fruit and alcohol. Deep dark brown with a very small tan head that completely vanishes. Sweet malty flavor of bread and sugar, just a very slight bitterness. Creamy smooth mouth feel with a mild carbonation, medium to full bodied. Exceptional beer that goes down almost to smooth, alcohol very well hidden.
