| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Mar 25, 2006 From a slender 11.2 oz. narrow neck brown bottle with a coded bottled/freshness date on bottom right side of the reflective silver dotted front label. Made a very good appearance, poured a rudy hued garnet with a large foamy pale tan head that settled into a thin, foamy lacing, moderate carbonation. Had a nice sweet malty aroma with dark ripe fruitiness, raisins and figs, with whiffs of sweet alcohol. A creamy, smooth medium bodied mouth feel, good drinkability. A sweet dark fruity malty taste with a little breadiness, a warm alcohol presence in the palate, a light hoppiness and a sweet malty finish with a little alcohol warmth lingering on the tongue.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 10, 2004 (2003 edit.) I llove bocks, I ador dobbelbocks and eisbocks amazes me; they are great beers. One impression witch goes throughout the beer, is chocolate. The color is deep, golden brown and a bit hazy, liquid chocolate. Also has a heavy chocolate sent, with a round rum-like aroma. Not that complex a taste; loads of powermalts and alcohol, no more. Finish has a tad of coffee, and the bottle contains no yeast. Big problem for me is the commercial descriptions notice of hop estract, is that cool in beer?. TheBeerOrg (1586), Kentucky, USA

| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Mar 17, 2005 Pored nearly still. No head to speak of. First sip has a lot of viscosity and is candy sweet. Lots of prune and other dark fruits. Very warming, and the alcohol is getting to my melon quickly- spinning, spinning- oh, I feel good!! lallallallallallallallallalla Yeah!

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jun 11, 2008 Mahogany with a large medium tan head that slowly diminishes and leaves a trail of lace on the glass as it goes. Aroma of brown sugar, nuts, toffee, bread alcohol and mild fruit. Strong taste of sweet malts, alcohol, fruit, light nuts and caramel. Finishes with an alcohol burn so it obviously doesn’t hide the alcohol too well. My first eisbock – while it won’t be my last I’m not real anxious to try the next one.

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 29, 2007 Bottle. It’s hard not to get a little excited about this... Pour is a leathery brown with a quickly fading head. Aromas are almost wine-like... fruit (red grape juice, black cherries, maybe some blackberries) and a bit of sugar. The alcohol that is present is my biggest hang up with the flavor. Other than that, it has almost a wine/brandy like flavor with a touch of a brownish malt presence. I thought this would be a little more distinctive and intriguing... as is, it is good, but I’m wondering what happens if I forget about one in the basement for a while?
