Aug 28, 2008 RBSG ’08: Provided by Greg Koch while drinking in the garden Note: I thought this said Y2K but from what I could find the abv is exact as this and other attendees seemed to have put their ratings here. Poured chunky but a clear amber color with no head. The aroma was of apples and brown sugar. Sweet smell with alcohol fumes running up the nose. The flavor was sweet and malty. Sugary with a full body and sticky mouthfeel. Warming in the throat.

Aug 11, 2008 Sampled at the 2008 RBSG from a bottle from Greg Koch Cellar. This Eisbock pours a medium brown color from a 12oz bottle. Small sized white foamy head. The aroma is caramel, fruity and sweet. The hops are earthy. It’s kind of a bit past its prime and the oxidation is evident, but it seems to work here, it makes the sweetness much more evident. Carbonation was good. Very smooth tasting. Hides the 12.5% very well. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.

Jul 25, 2004 Murky brown color with smallish head. Aroma of light roasted malt and mellow hops but thats all thats mellow about this magic elixar. Why would they possibly discontinue something this good? Tastes of over ripe oranges, brown sugar and espresso round it out. Magic on the lips.
