Apr 11, 2009 Deep mahogany pour with a ruby highlight ans a small off-white head that fades quickly to a thin ring. Very rich dark fruit aroma with hints of molasses, cherry, brandy, and some vinous quality. The flavor is burnt caramel, dates, tobacco, brandy, a little cocoa, and some more vinous hints on the finish. There’s also a little bit of a lingering irony/vegetal note after you swallow. Oily, medium-full body. This a real winter warmer or desert beer but it is slightly cloying.

Apr 8, 2007 11.2oz bottle. Pours a clear dark brown with ruby highlights and a small tan head that leaves minimal lacing. Aroma is sweet caramel, dark fruit, molasses, and a touch of roasted malt. Taste is the same with a smooth creamy texture and mild bitterness. Alcohol is very well hidden and the beer is very well balanced.

Nov 28, 2007 A very nice beer. Glad to know that I have several more bottles of the beer waiting for me. The last eisbock I had was a bit overwhelming so I wasn’t too sure what to expect from this one. Everything was in great form. An aroma chocolately raisins/plums, dark brown sugar, and black cherry ice cream. The taste is equally as sublime as the aroma with strong notes of molasses, vanilla, chocolate, cookie dough and dark fruits. Extremely easy to drink, which is dangerous at over 9% alcohol. Very nice beer.

Feb 26, 2006 Deep classic Bock nose(to me this means: a little sharp, cold, metallic tones like the smell of cheap white sugar). But this beer has an incredible deep nose of warmth as well: dried fruits, most distinctly figs, but also raisins, plums and prunes. Brown sugar and the warmth of alcohol is also very apparent; The body is medium full and very, very well balanced, with all elements apparent (sweet, sour, bitter, salty); The finish is long and complex with lots of malt, sweetness and a little bitterness. Great beer, but Bocks are very special!

Aug 10, 2008 Pours a dark reddish brown with a nice bubbly head and solid lacing. Aroma has malt, apple, and dark fruit. Taste has alcohol in the front, which then smooths out into a sweeter finish. Nice palate, damn good beer.
