Dec 9, 2005 330 ml bottle. Deep dark brown, almost black hue. Opaque with a good amount of tan head. Nose is very alcoholic, with a sweetness. Aromas of raisins, apricots, prunes, resin, toffee, slight coffee, chocolate, port, and burnt sugar. Rich, full and chocolately in the mouth. Sugary and sweet, with the alcohol burn as a finisher. Plums and port, chocolate and pine. Fantastic lingering mouthfeel of sweet burnt sugar, breadiness, licorice, and a cloying syrupy flavor. And to boot, a nice piney, hop bitter finish. I still remember the first one I ever had. Still just as delicious. Right on!

Feb 4, 2008 A tad sweet for a daily drinker, but a damned fine beer. The aroma is a smoky brown-sugar malt. Thick on the tongue, tasting of smoke, malt, and molasses all mingled together with smoke and a beautiful alcohol warmth. An excellent and complex brew.

May 1, 2007 12 oz bottle. Drank a couple of these this afternoon with my Neighbor, Tom. Well, actually we had several of these, which lit us up like a 3 alarm fire. This stuff is super dark, almost black. It has a very belgian-esque aroma. Taste is smooth as silk: Toffee, fruit, caramel and nice roasty malts. Reminded me of a Quad, as a matter of fact. I bought a six pack of this stuff at Holingshead several weeks ago and I wish I would have bought several cases, because now it’s gone, and I haven’t a clue where to find it in San Diego. For shame.

Aug 31, 2006 Opaque black colour, frothy tan head. Coffee aroma with a wee bit chocolate. Thick mouthfeel, invigorating intensity, malts and bitters melding together.

Sep 8, 2006 Dark brown in color. Rich malt aroma from the pour. Smells of caramel and toffee. Wonderful almond colored head. Wow. What rich flavor and texture. Lots of figs, dates, plums, raisin. Finish of some chocolate. Alcohol is not that present until it hit the bottom of my stomach. This is an amazing beer, and my first German eisbock.

Oct 1, 2006 Dark mahogany colour with a pale tan head. Notes of chocolate and burned caramel. On the palate, the flavors are harmoniously accompanied by toffee, macadamia nut brittle, juniper berries, and Pedro Ximenez sherry. Very fine beer.

Aug 30, 2007 Updated: Mar 2, 20081st Rating from 3rd Annual Woodshop tasting in Temple City, CA. 3/1/08. One hell of a day put on by Cquiroga, thanks for a killer day Chris. Also spent the day there with bikesanbeer, my girlfriend Cyn, wetherel, JohnC, DenverLogan, dirty_martini, jasparg, DrBil, IPAFiend, awaisanen and many others, this was one crazy day. Same Bottle DenverLogan Had below. Jully 11, 1996 24% Plato. Pours Brown with no head. Nose is sweet and crazy gnarly. Taste is sweet and strong and not so super sweet and hides however big the alc actual is.

Sep 8, 2007 I grabbed this one just by visually shopping at my new favorite store here in Albuquerque (I have since moved). When the "beer guy" at the shop told me it was a lot like Celebrator and that I could even do a side by side tasting, my immediate thought was something along the lines of: "Brother. You are really putting your reputation on the line here." It was my first suggestion from him and anyone in the store for that matter. I took his advice though and took a bottle of Celebrrator to do a side by side tasting. The two are virtually twins I feel, with minimal characteristic differences. The Celebrator has a more roasted quality and the Kulmbacher has a sweeter edge...and also 2.5% more on the ABV. Overall I appreciated this one quite a bit and was surprised how similar it was to Celebrator.
