| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Feb 8, 2004 Bottle. This beer formed a large sized tan head with fine-small sized bubbles that quickly dissipated. The body was reddish-brown and somewhat opaque with no carbonation observed. The nose was malty, caramel and sweet with some alcohol notes. The flavor was sweet, malty, caramel and some alcohol. The mouthfeel was smooth and this beer had sparse lacing. A good Eisbock and one that I recommend. Rastacouere (5564), Montréal, Quebec, Canada
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | May 9, 2004 Updated: Mar 4, 2006 6 months bottle. Big props to TAR Finely laced thin off-white head over a dark molasses brown hue. Deeply rich aroma, sweet as expected, but bearing woody and lots of smoked undertones. The great chocolatey malt is intertwined with the candyish toffee. Subdued hop profile complements the malt fest with dignity. In one word, the aroma is effective. A first sip reveals its awe-inspiring complexity. This is rich and decadent, smoky with superb chocolate flavors. Understated fruitiness, maple and mildly bitter tobacco finish. Medium to full bodied with appropriate carbonation, rather restrained not to disturb and to let the malt expands as it deserves to. Wonderful and extremely contemplative lager, not unlike celebrator. ontario102 (794), Boise, Idaho, USA

| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Jul 2, 2006 Bottled. A very dark brown coloured beer with a minimal short-lived head. The aroma is thick and heavy on the alcohol. Sweet caramel and soy sauce tickle the nose. The taste is thick and warming. Woody and licquorice. Tons of malt and tons of alcohol, yet very smooth and very drinkable. This is sheer quality and even though you know it’s high strength and it tastes that way in the mouth, it really is quaffable and very moreish. Pailhead (2609), Allen Park, Michigan, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Mar 16, 2005 Bottle: Aroma has lots of buttery caramel. Pours a dark brown with orange hilights when held to the light. Tan head fades quickly. Real sweet. Lots of caramel, toffee, chocolate, and brown sugar. Light alcohol is barely noticeable in the finish but has a little warming affect. Definitely sweet but not nearly sweet as the other eisbocks I’ve had. The more I drink this the more I like it. Very good.
