Commercial Description:
This Eisbock was lagered a full year and then frozen to incomparable smoothness. This is a big and complex beer, suitable for laying down or consuming immediately, serve at 55 degrees Fahrenheit. A few times a year, we will cut Dan Carey loose to brew whatever he chooses, uncensored, uncut, UNPLUGGED. Always handcrafted, the bottle you hold is brewed for the adventurous soul. This is a very limited edition and we make no promises to ever brew this style again. Eisbock is the first of our Unplugged series of beers.

The first of New Glarus’ Unplugged brews. Pours a dark midnight red color with an off white head that quickly disappeared but left a ring around the glass. Others noticed a lack of carbonation, but is bubbling up like a fountain, never seen this before. Smell is of burnt molasses, brown sugar, cherries, and currants. Very sweet, caramel greets me first, with a little bit of toffee, and even some bitterness comes into play. Dry finish, but has a nice lingering taste of plum and cherry. Nice mouthfeel, it was medium-high carbonation, medium to full bodied, but I expected it to be thicker. Very drinkable, I wish they would make this more often, or even just one more time I suppose would be great.

12oz Bottle. 2002. Lightly funky chewy smoke, salted caramel, and sugar. A bit of age. Pours a mature raisin-colored brown, with light golden. Flavor shows age immediately. Light raisins, port, and old brown sugar. A bit of alcohol, dust and nuts. Lager yeast. Residual malt build. Salty. Still some good carbonation. Interesting, but past its prime. I sense that this possible could have been expose to heat. Thanks Steve!

Pours a very dark brown in color with a nice quarter inch mocha head.
Smell is subtle dark fruits and lots of yeast.
Taste is huge. Big and creamy on the mouthfeel. Taste is darkness. Both in fruit and toffee. This is a good Eisbock and has held up well with time.

Bottle Pours out a dark brownish red topped with a small head. A GREAT aroma of pit fruit and thick malts. Tast more of the pit fruit/raisins. Nice sweet and thick. Very tasty thanks Footbalm for the love
