Dec 14, 2006 As usual, I am wowed by an Eisbock. I was impressed by the color and initial tan head on the pour - it disappated very quickly. The color is a very dark murky brown with very faint red/orange highlights. This has a highly alcoholic smell. Dark dried fruit, brown sugar, dough are also present in the aroma. The palate is super sweet yet balanced a bit by the alcohol. But the alcohol isn’t a negative or out of place. In the middle of the palate is a nice graham cracker taste that is in between the layers of sweetness. I love this, but then this is my favorite style of beer.

May 25, 2006 Thanks to ilinismitty for this one. Pretty pretty, beautiful dark purple body with a fantastically huge light tan head. The aroma made me shiver in anticipation. Plums, cherries, alcoholic bliss all wafted up to me. A bit of caramel and chocolate lay down underneath the other aromas with some granola. Wow, this is sweet. Chocolate, plums, and cherries all combine for a chewy beverage. The alcohol is there but does not dominate, it works with what little hop presence in this to keep this from getting too cloying. Marshmallow granola flavor in the finish with sorghum molasses. A fantastic experience.

Jun 4, 2007 This was another beer I tried at "The Toad", a little pub in Rochester, NY. Wow, and let me say wow again. It poured a beautiful dark brown with a cream-colored head. The smell and taste was reminiscent of raisin-bread for me, but at 9.2% ABV there was just a bit of an alcohol taste in the after-taste. Still, a great beer.

May 6, 2007 Bottle. Very dark brown, almost black color with ruby tint. Thin head. Aroma of dark roasted malt and fruit. Smooth taste of malt and raisin with accents of brown sugar. Very good.

Jun 2, 2009 Dark ruby pour. Strong aroma. Smells of fermented fruit and aged grapes. Definitely a red wine type of flavor with a slightly dry finish. Alcohol is not tasted at all. My first eisbock and a superb sample!

Mar 14, 2009 Aroma:malty sorts of aromas. no hop aroma. mostly carmel, some bread or pie crust, a little toasty
Appearance: pretty dark, not as dark as a stout but darker than a brown. some redness or amber when held up to a light. big head first that dissipated quickly.
Flavor: really malty. no real perceivable hop flavor. mostly like toasted bread or pie crust, a little roastiness, less carmel
Palate: smooth, medium body, no real perceivable sweetness, slight bitterness in the finish
Overall Impression: Its just like I hoped it would be. Very flavorful, very malty, but not sweet or syrupy. I had hoped for more carmel and less roastiness though.

Oct 16, 2009 Updated: Oct 20, 2009Bottle from Kegs & Barrels in Plano, TX. Pours a nice looking deep dark brown with red hues and tan head. Aroma is of pure clean strong malt, prune and nice chocolate. Flavor is the same with nicely balanced bitter and nice warming alcohol spice. Mouth feel is medium-heavy body with medium-high carbonation. Overall, a very enjoyable beer....good shit! Yum!

Nov 16, 2007 33 cl. Deep mahogany with a huge and enduring creamy cap. Chocolate, raisins and molasses with a whiff of alcohol in the delicious nose. Flavor has all the same characteristics, plus some woody notes, toffee, corn and a slight dry-earth spiciness. Smooth medium-heavy body has some slight tingle on the end.
