May 22, 2004 Updated: Jun 29, 2005Decipherable roastiness in immeasurable sweet fruity malt...Majestuous dark chocolate running on impetuous ashes...An appreciable hoppy aftertaste then topples the announced heavy sweetness and dryness becomes the curtain call...A methodically tasty eisbock, periodically recalling great English barley wines, such as J.W. Lee’s Harvest...

Oct 2, 2004 This is a truly great beer, a runs a close second to my favorite eisbock which is the Schneider, but this is wonderful. Great sweet caramel bread flavors, a nice tingly sweetness, with some spiciness thrown in for bite. I could sip on this all night.

Feb 8, 2004 This bottled brew poured a large head of fine to medium sized light brown colored mostly diminishing bubbles that left behind a fair lace. The body is semi-opaque with a dark browm color and no visible carbonation. The aroma is very nice with a big brown beer smell and caramel notes. The mouth feel is vinuous yet smoothend in the finish fading to a nice caramel dark malt flavor. The flavor is smooth and very nice too. It has a vinuous dark malt flavor with a mild bite.

Feb 20, 2004 31.12.03... Poured a dark ruby color with a medium sized off white head and some lacing. Sweet and grainy aroma of bread, malt and old fruit. Sweet caramel malt taste, some nuts, toffee and a slightly biting alcohol burn. Full and creamy mouthfeel.

Jan 28, 2007 33 cL bottle, fancy laser label. Something that looks this fancy goes into my snifter, I guess. Kicks up a great barley smell, like your favorite brewpub on brewing day. Thin barleywine type head, deep brown body with red where the light can get through. Taste is big, bold, grainy and very sweet, just a teensy bit of sourness to suggest a smoke Affy Tapple. If they made wort into candies, this is what it would taste like. Lots of heady brandy-ish crystal malts. Still has some yeasty esters that might improve with aging, but I don’t know how long I can hold on to this. Some general bitterness that becomes German hops largely by the power of suggestion. I found this at Binny’s in Willowbrook, though they are clearly making a push into the US market. Let ’em come, I say!

Jul 4, 2004 Wow, this stuff is great. Dark in colour with a medium medium lasting tan head. The nose is sweet almost very sweet, the taste too is sweet and the aftertaste lingers with maltyness and sweetness that is creamy. Pretty good, check it out if you can.

Jan 12, 2004 Rating #400. 9.2% bottle. Very dark brown color, ruby highlights, tan head, fully diminishing which was not a suprise because of the high abv. Sweet malty aroma, caramelly, and raisiny. Big time sweet malt flavor, almost cloying but not, raisins and caramel again, also some licorice. Big fat chewy body, some alcohol warming, but overall well hidden. A delicious treat for a cold day such as this.

Mar 20, 2004 Bottle pours a beautiful dark garnet color with a nice tan head and some spotty lace. The aroma is of dates and brown sugar. The flavor is chocolate, dates, and brown sugar - all the while being very nice with the alcohol nowhere to be found. The palate is rich, but not sticky. This is one fine Eisbock that I would recommend to anybody. Very, very good!
