Aug 11, 2005 Bottle: Deep brown, coppery tone, fairly translucent, moderate foamy light beige head, nice lacing. Heavy dark fruit aroma, slight raisin and fig notes. Heavy raisiny flavor, dark fruits, very figgy, yummy! Big body with a fairly moderate mouthfeel. I thought it would have been a bit thicker. Finishes a bit heavier at least, lots of dark bready character, figs, dates, and very pruny. Alcohol is well hidden. Very enjoyable, but could be a bit sweeter and viscous in my opinion.

Apr 18, 2004 Pours a very dark brown almost black with a nice had that doesn't stay very long. Sweet malty aroma with hints of alcohol and metallics. Flavour is very very sweet with lots of dark maltiness, and chocolatey brown sugar. Warming alcoholic finish is pleasant, nice syrupy body is not exactly thick but has noticable weight across the tongue. I like it. Thanks to IPfreely for bringing this one up for me.

Oct 17, 2004 Bottomless and nocturnal. Gooey head for a lager that quickly dies and dissipates. Dusty aroma. Pronounced salty malt. Pounds upon pounds of thick german malts combine to cover not only the alcohol but my nose as well. Anise, iron (not oxidized), Very smooth aroma, complex yet overpoweringly sticky. Not subtle. Flavors reflect this. Distinct saltiness coupled with hints of plastic and rust. If this weren’t a doppel I’d swear it was oxidized beyone belief. However that just must be the gallons of lager yeast and dark malts that lurk in this beauty.Warming alcohol but not too much. Huge and sticky. It is alright but I’ll take the Aventinus eis anyother day thank you very much.

Jan 10, 2008 Pours a molasses color with a small head, mostly a small ring of foam. Aroma is of leather and shaving cream. Flavor is very spirit-like, with notes of sherry and brandy. A bit fruity at time, with a big alcoholic burn.

Jul 9, 2004 Dark reddish brown, small head. A very nice roasty, vinous aroma. Taste of raisins, dark sugars, dark fruits. Lots of malt. Very good eisbock, even though I’d like a touch more of hops here.

Oct 15, 2007 11.2 oz bottle. Pours a dark ruby brown with a creamy off-white head that goes to a thin film and leaves some lacing.
The aroma is sweet candy-like caramel malts, chocolate, dark fruits and some alcohol.
The flavor is sweet sugary caramel malts, dark fruits, and some smoke, with some alcohol warming. A bit of a bitter finish comes out as it warms. The mouthfeel is medium to full with low carbonation.
Overall, it tastes like an extra-sweet doppelbock. It is very well done and tasty.

Nov 6, 2007 Delicous. Aroma was a bit off like old dark fruits. But from its look and small off white flat head to the smooth and tasty flavors its all in all a fantastic brew. Thick bready plum sugar and roasted malt.
