Kulmbacher Eisbock

Bottle. Sampled at the 2009 Peoria International Beer Festival. Dark red-brown with an off-white head that dissipates fairly quickly leaving no lacing. Aroma is super rich and malty. Assertive flavor is roasty, chocolatey and sweet.

[330 ml bottle] Dark ruby red volor with lots of nice foam, that disappear quick. Aroma of caramell and herbs. Taste of fruits, caramell, herbs and a bit honey in the end.

Deep mahogany pour with a ruby highlight ans a small off-white head that fades quickly to a thin ring. Very rich dark fruit aroma with hints of molasses, cherry, brandy, and some vinous quality. The flavor is burnt caramel, dates, tobacco, brandy, a little cocoa, and some more vinous hints on the finish. There’s also a little bit of a lingering irony/vegetal note after you swallow. Oily, medium-full body. This a real winter warmer or desert beer but it is slightly cloying.

(bottle) pours a dark ruby colour with a faint tan head. aroma oozing chocolate cake and marzipan, with some notes of roasted malt, coffee and soy-sauce. flavour is exactly the same, the marzipan being quite prominent. heavy body with moderate carbonation and a semi-dry roasted finish.

Pours dark brown with little head. Aroma is rich and malty, with caramel and raisiny notes. Flavor is malty, warming, and little else.

Rich thick and heavy. Not a very pleaing sweetness. Very sticky. Syrupy and malty, one dimentional.

tasting at the bluebird. vintage bottle from 7/11/96. had an aggressive taste to it. an in your face smell and surprisingly smooth follow through.

Clear dark brown, thick fine brown head. aroma is a little spritty, caramel, dark toffee. aroma not that strong, and seems to be to be rather one dimenstional. flavor: dark toffee, dark sugar, caramel. slight roasted grains. too toffee like for my taste. flavor is quite full and well balanced.
