Jan 23, 2006 Bottle. I was the first one to try this at Russels Restaurant in Bloomsburg, PA. I felt quite honored after finishing it! What an excellent Eisbock! Very, very full flavour. Poured a deep brown, with a small head. You don’t taste the high alcohol content right away. It is quite well rounded! This was a bit reminiscent of Samichlaus.

Sep 19, 2005 Deep brown pour, with no head. A very plummy, malty, and yeasty aroma. Pretty sweet mouthfeel with flavors reminding me of plums, and other dried fruit. Slightly cloying but not too much. A very tasty brew, great for dessert, at least for me!

Oct 12, 2005 Appears a dark brownish black with a small off white head that fizzles out into a tiny collar. Not a whole lot of lacing going on.
Smell is bready, roasted nuts, raisins, figs, molasses, brown sugar, and black grapes.
Taste is of the same sweet like aromas but it’s not cloying and the abv of 9.2% isn’t that noticable.
Mouthfeel has a mild alcohol presence with a brown sugar like gummy sweetness with black grapes running along the palate leaving a nice finish.
Drinkability is superb for an eisbock. One of the better ones of the style that I’ve had.

Jan 6, 2006 On tap at Mike and Molly’s in Champaign, IL. Enjoyed in the company of Duane and Noah last evening. A dark mahogany pour exudes odors of butterscotch, vanilla, and hazelnut. On the palate, the flavors are harmoniously accompanied by toffee, macadamia nut brittle, juniper berries, and Pedro Ximenez sherry. The lack of hops is evident, although there’s so much complexity and smoothness here that one doesn’t necessarily miss them. Well done, and kudos to Mike for putting this one on draft.
