| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jan 4, 2004 Updated: Nov 4, 20049.2 abv and best before 12/02/2003. Ultra muddy dark brown-violet tinged. Some burnt red on the edges. Small off-white butter head. Big prunes, alcohol and rich choco-caramel malt aroma. Flavor is amazing right away. Big, bold, hearty, some subtle roast, lots of dark fruit, dry caramel, sweet chocolate, prunes. Full body and a grainy and big even texture. Low carbonation. My only complaint was the finish which was very muddled with alcohol, creating a not so nice flavor and slightly metallic. It wasnt a HUGE problem though. The majority of this beer was outstanding. Rerate. Same best before date bottle. I noticed a bit more thinning and unpleasant dryness than the first bottle I tried. Still quite good. My friend liked it better than Kuhnhenn’s Raspberry Eisbock, but I cant agree. Though Kuhnhenns may have too much sweet raspberry, this has too much muddled alcohol apparency. gnoff (3570), Göteborg, Sweden

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 30, 2005 Very deep amber/light brown and clear with a thin lasting head. Aroma is malty and very sweet. Lots of Dark munich malts, wtih some chocolate as well. Some alcohol is noticed too. Flavor is deep munich malt, caramel, candied apple, and molasses. Very similar to schneider except this one doesnt have the phenolic cloviness or hints of banana. Not as complex but very well done. Very smooth finish. Fin (3421), Merton, Oxfordshire, England
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 5, 2007 Bottle, Beers of Europe Poured dark brown pretty good clarity, white head. Toffee like aroma, along with some molasses. Tastes quite rich as one would expect but sweetness a little overwhelming at times a bit barley wineish in that sense, still very nice beer that has dark fruits and is quite sticky on occasion. larsniclas (3386), Gothenburg, Sweden
