| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Oct 2, 2006 33 cl bottle. No yeast at the bottom. Reddish brown colour with a weak head. Sweet malty aroma with notes of caramel. Very tasty and clean flavour of sweet malt, fruit, caramel and alcohol. Ends up sweet and little dry. Svesse (2685), Hässelby, Sweden
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 28, 2009 (Bottle) Reddish brown colour with firm, creamy, beige head. Malty nose with notes of dried fruit, chocolate, toffee, liquorice and hints of alcohol (a bit like cherries in brandy). Malty taste with dried fruit, coffee, dark rye bread, chocolate, liquorice and a finish with a touch of spicy hops, toasty malt and warming alcohol. Full body, fairly sweet (but not as sweet as I expected). Smooth and rounded mouthfeel with an almost overwhelming malt character. Excellent balance. Lovely beer.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Apr 18, 2007 Bottle: Pours a very deep brown with ruby tints and a fading tan head. The aroma is loaded with sweet maltyness. Maple and brown sugar dominate. Slick mouthfeel, with a nice alcohol warmth. Dense maltyness gives off chocolate, brown sugar, light maple notes, and a roasty, slightly nutty (walnut?) finish with lots of smooth alcohol warmth. A solid malty warmer. puzzl (2660), New York, New York, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Apr 11, 2006 Strong, malt bomb aroma, with underlying apple juice, brown sugar. Deep black pour. Flavor has a nice sweetness to its malt with zero hop balance, which is OK for the style. A bit of BBQ sauce, maybe, in the taste, with caramel, marshmellow, apple.

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jan 22, 2004 The beer as it distances itself from the bottle pours a deep ruby color with a behemothic head, the texture creamy, the color a toothsome light tan as the head slowly fades away to nothingness, the lace forms a tight skirt to conceal the glass. Nose is a bit plummish, malt laden; sweet, crisp and refreshing, start is quite sweet, lots of malt, top is moderate in its feel to the palate. Finish is perky in its acidity, the hops are delectable in their spiciness, very dry and long lasting aftertaste, and quaffable tis true, a bit of a belly warmer to boot, well worth a try.

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jan 20, 2009 Big, figgy, sherry/plum bock aroma with bitter chocolate and light vinegar- quite good. Very dark, clear, rootbeer brown beer, tall head in a pint glass, cool holographic crystal effect on the label. Strong, but nice and smooth. Reminds me of Moretti La Rossa. Fairly sweet, prune-y flavor, reasonably boozy. A chalky, chocolate finish over a viscous beer -- making for a pudding-like mouthfeel. Really a good beer, but one or two is plenty. Liquor Loft.

| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Nov 18, 2004 Fine light tan head on a dark amber body. Rather cloying in the aroma. Malt, soy, alcohol and a tone of meat (!) Sweet and heavy malty and caramelly flavor with notes of prunes and raisins and too much alcohol. A heavy beer, Eisbocks are definately not among my favorites! mabel (2626), Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Slightly hazy, dark brown body with a quick foamy off-white head. Sweet strong date roasty malt flavour is rich. Medium-full body. Very tasty, lots going on.
