Sep 11, 2006 Aroma is seriously sweet malty goodness, like toffee with loads of nutts. Taste is more fruity than nutty with some biscuit/fig intence flavours going on.

Aug 20, 2003 Updated: Aug 19, 2005Reichelbrau Eisbock #11897 bottled on 7/11/96 sampled on 7/29/05: Transparent dark mahogany brown with some small off-white bubbles and thin lacing. Aroma is intensely complex, dark fruity and oxidized. Body is semi-sweet, sticky and complex with some dark caramel and hints of milk chocolate. This has aged very well.
Rerate best by 10/22/04 sampled on 12/21/04 and cellared for at least a year previously: This stuff has aged quite well. I mean it’s past its best by date and it’s not showing any signs of deteriorating at all. In fact it’s even smoother and more complex with the malts just as flavorable. Ein wunderbares Deutsches Eisbock!
8/20/2003: Pours a rich dark brown with a thin off-white head. Richly malty aroma has good complexity and hints of dark fruits. Body is thick, sweet and alcoholic. Caramel malt and toffee flavors dominate with a mildly bitter and warming finish with chocolate notes. A very good, well-balanced eisbock.

Dec 8, 2003 Crystal clear, ruby lager with a small, creamy, beige head.
The nose is of merlot, buttermilk, chocolate, dark fruit and maple syrup.
Very malty flavor with lots of dark fruit and buttery, caramelly notes. But, very well-bittered, decently balanced and astringent on the backside.
Full-bodied with a fizzy/alcoholic mouthfeel. Lengthy, bitter finish. Very good stuff!

Oct 10, 2004 Bottle. Hugely sticky. Full on soy sauce and salty caramel, definitely some mollasses. I like the slightly woody/earthy sherry like quality at the end, nice saltyness. Its just too sticky,and there is some raw alcohol evident.

May 6, 2004 Very deep-chestnut brown, light reddish shine; good, dirty-brown head, fast dwindling to nothing. Sweetish, bread and nutty nose, slightly alcoholic. Sweet, very bready taste, liquorice, plums, rich malt, touch of mocca. Sticky, even viscous mouthfeel, discreet alcohol (at 9.2 ABV!). Better than nice. As good as I remember from Kulmbacher-Reichelbräu days gone by.

Apr 30, 2005 Dark reddish colour with a beige head. Sweet malty aroma, caramel hints and notes of alcohol. Strong alcohol flavor but balanced with a nice malty sweetness.
