Sep 17, 2004 Funky sweet aroma. Color is a dark mahogany. No head as expected. Very malty mouthfeel. Pronounced alcohol kick, nice. Developed malt taste, quite sweet but also hearty and certainly not bland- can’t quite put my finger on it. An interesting strong beer.

Dec 9, 2005 330 ml bottle. Deep dark brown, almost black hue. Opaque with a good amount of tan head. Nose is very alcoholic, with a sweetness. Aromas of raisins, apricots, prunes, resin, toffee, slight coffee, chocolate, port, and burnt sugar. Rich, full and chocolately in the mouth. Sugary and sweet, with the alcohol burn as a finisher. Plums and port, chocolate and pine. Fantastic lingering mouthfeel of sweet burnt sugar, breadiness, licorice, and a cloying syrupy flavor. And to boot, a nice piney, hop bitter finish. I still remember the first one I ever had. Still just as delicious. Right on!

Aug 12, 2004 Very dark brown body with red highlights. Aroma has charcoal smoke, cherries, and that deep dark maltiness I never can quite put my finger on. Alcohol as well in the aroma. Sweet flavor that starts with dark cherry/grape malt and finishes with some fruitcake-ish spice. I don’t really enjoy the heavy sweetness of this beer, the spiciness is the only thing that makes it interesting.

May 14, 2004 Rich and robust, roasted malt, molasses aroma. Deep dark blackish read color. Small, light tan, large bubble head that is almost fully diminishing. High alcohol is very prevalent on the back of the tongue. This is a great brew! Smooth, with hints of chocolate, toffee and caramel. This gets easier to drink with each sip. The alcohol is well hidden; this could be dangerous. The only other Eisbock I have rated is the Schneider Aventinus Weizen-Eisbock, which I sampled at the Weisses Brauhaus in Munich. That one is higher in alcohol (11% vs. 9.2%) and tastes that much more dangerous. I believe I recall liking that brew better than this one, but they’re both very fine. Oh, and I love the label!

Oct 1, 2009 Bottle thanks to nqualls. Admission up front, this isn’t really my favorite style. Dark dark brown, creamy light tan head. Big prune aroma, caramelized sugar, caramel, cocoa. Taste is more fruity, prunes, plums, caramel, sugar, very sweet, light alcohol warmth.

May 30, 2007 Bottle: Rich ruby colored pour with a small beige head that is quickly gone. Nose is sweet with dark fruits, malts, and brown sugar. The taste is initially sweet with dark fruits and evolves into a malty, molasses, dark fruits blend. A very nice balance of flavors that is not overly sweet. Very good.
