Dec 12, 2003 Best by 12/31/03, 9.2% abv. Dark red. Nice nose, lots of dark fruit (plums and raisins), some caramel sweetness. Big flavors, vinous, lots of port/wine character. Malts are strong, caramel, nutty, and a bit of chocolate. Alcohol is a mite overly noticeable with a burn at the end, but really quite lovely.

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!

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.

Dec 8, 2003 BBD 12/31/03 9.2% abv. The deepest of rubies. Nice sweet malt nose, clearly tells you bock is afoot. Big sweet malt attack, but wins the battle with cloying. Well-done. Luxurious sweet maltiness rich and satisfying. Nice underlying bitterness. Finish has alcohol and some spiciness. How do they do this? Eku 28 is a mess, but this is fricking brilliant?

Nov 10, 2003 this is one big fat malty SOB! color is a deep brown with very slight head, just a few bubbles. aroma is loaded with chocolate and raisins. flavor is much the same but finishes with a metallic quality and a fair amount of dryness. this is one of the more surprising beers i can remember. the aroma is to die for.

Feb 27, 2004 Dark purple in color, with little head. Smells of grapes and alcohol. The alcohol is certainly present in the taste, which is expected, but it doesn't detract from it at all. Tasted of grapes/raisins with a bit of spice as well. Thick without being syrupy. Slight sweet aftertaste. Excellent beer.

Feb 13, 2006 Pours a clear and very dark brown with a lacy off-white head. Aroma is of brown sugar, anise and dried fruits; figs, plums and cherries. The body is full but not syrupy or cloying like many eisbocks and the CO2 is a bit high for the style. The flavors are med. sweet with fresh toast, mollases and and underlying vanilla character. The finish is clean with only the slightest hint of resinous hops. A near perfect bock. Great malty goodness.

Oct 23, 2008 33cl bottle. Cool label design: poured dark brown with a medium sized light brown head. Very rich aroma of caramel, figs, raisins, prunes, etc. Taste is very malty with all the dark fruits above. Starts off sweet and finishes nicely bitter albeit mild. Undoubtedly Kulmbacher’s best beer.
