Mar 16, 2005 Bottle: Aroma has lots of buttery caramel. Pours a dark brown with orange hilights when held to the light. Tan head fades quickly. Real sweet. Lots of caramel, toffee, chocolate, and brown sugar. Light alcohol is barely noticeable in the finish but has a little warming affect. Definitely sweet but not nearly sweet as the other eisbocks I’ve had. The more I drink this the more I like it. Very good.

Aug 11, 2005 Bottle: Deep brown, coppery tone, fairly translucent, moderate foamy light beige head, nice lacing. Heavy dark fruit aroma, slight raisin and fig notes. Heavy raisiny flavor, dark fruits, very figgy, yummy! Big body with a fairly moderate mouthfeel. I thought it would have been a bit thicker. Finishes a bit heavier at least, lots of dark bready character, figs, dates, and very pruny. Alcohol is well hidden. Very enjoyable, but could be a bit sweeter and viscous in my opinion.

Jun 7, 2007 Appearance: Pours out a dark brown-dark red color marked by a ring of very fine, off-white froth.
Smell: Oh, yes! A splendid, sweet aroma of plums, caramel, port wine, and molasses.
Taste: Astoundingly sweet! Such sweetness. I just felt a reflexive shot of adrenaline shoot through my beer-infested veins.
Be right back.
Alright. Whew. A great, seemingly endless depth of rich maltiness with intense flavors of caramel, brown sugar, maple syrup, and dark fruits. There’s a slight nuttiness present, as is an ever so faint hop bitterness. The finish is a bit of a contradiction, as the acute flavors stay on the tongue for several minutes at a time.
Mouthfeel: Full-bodied. A touch of soda-like carbonation keeps this beer from being too syrupy. Still... it’s quite silky. Almost sensual.
Any thicker, and this beer would go great on a batch of pancakes!
Drinkability: Just the one, thank you. Whew.

Roasted malts, molasses, raisins. Nice aroma. Dark brown amber clear with small off-white lacing head. Thick watery body with medium carbonation. Starts sweet, very malty. Raisins, molasses, roasted malts, sugary start. Sweet light bitter finish. Malty enjoyable eisbock.

May 18, 2006 Bottle: Aroma was sweet and had a fermented alcohol presence also. Dark body with red hue, small tan head. Sweet favor along with some alcohol burn at first. Alcohol mellowed out along with the burn and it was sweet plums and cherry rest of the way. Medium fruit taste left on palate. Good Beer

Nov 4, 2002 Big beer. Syrupy, raisins in the nose. Brown color - almost black, with a tight head that leaves legs on the glass. Chocolate, nutty, spicey flavors. Dry end with a touch of bitter. Thick body and smooth as hell. Perfect balance and a clean palette. Fantastic.

Jan 8, 2009 Nice deep brown coloured body with a strong ruby tint and a thinnish tan head. Aroma of strong concord grapes, nuts, coffee and a lot of sweet sugars. Full-bodied; Strong alcoholic flavour with grapes up front, fading to a lot of malt and ending with a bunch of nuts. Aftertaste shows a bit of sugars, a lot of nutty maltiness and a significant amount of alcohol in the palate. Overall, a good icebock with good complexity. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Oliver’s Beverage in Albany, New York on 22-December-2008, sampled on 09-January-2009 at home in Washington.
