Jul 3, 2004 Bottled: Dark brown to black, immense tan head, aroma of rich burnt malt, bread, chocolate. Flavor of malt, rich burnt malt, subdued yet powerful, finish is sweet. Very nice beer.

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!

Nov 4, 2002 Oh yeah: Spicey, alcohol and malt nose. Dark brown with hints of red and a nice hazelnut brown head atop. Very malty and grainy. Bitter, thick, long aftertaste. Very good.

Nov 9, 2003 A Good Eisbock. Fruity(raisins,plum), malty, and sweet flavor. Finishes warming, clean, and smooth. Recommended.

Aug 20, 2004 Black appearance with a moderate head. The aroma explodes with chocolate, raisins, and caramel. The flavor is quite sweet with some milk chocolate, nuts, syrup, and grapes. I find this oddly refreshing for some reason. The alcohol is masked extremely well. The aftertaste is very sweet and thick. This one is a winner fo sho!

Mar 13, 2004 This is the most delicate, subtle and subdued eisbock I've ever had - nothing like the cloying, palate-assaulting beasts that so often go by the name - dark ruby with moderate, fizzy head that disappears almost completely - subdued, but complex aroma of candy sugar, plums, cloves - very mild sweetness in the flavor, with wonderfully subtle flavors of plums and other dark fruits - tingling carbonation - dates, figs, and a hint of black cherry - certain qualities remind me more of an abbey dubbel - dangerously well-masked alcohol - I wish more beers of this style were like this.

Aug 19, 2003 Looks darker than it taste; coca cola color; plum wine taste, taste like a barley wine, but definately a nice style, I would and could (and probably will) drink more.

Mar 22, 2004 Aroma is that of blackberries & cream; alcohol. Smooth as silk draped over a newborn babe. Vinous trace, not sticky. A ton of roasty, warm, buttery mocha brownies.
