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.

Bottle pours coppery amber, fizzly off-white head, spotty lacing, with very light carbonation.   Malty/Sugary nose.   Seems somewhat thick/syrupy and biscuity.   Slight cough syrup.   Smooth buttery malt flavor up front, with a soft hop background.   Average body and mouthfeel.   Finishes smooth and clean, with only a subtle buttery malt flavor.   Alcohol is well hidden.   Thanks goes out to MrFacto for the trade!

not real great beer, looked pretty good, but smelled and tasted kind of like sour barlage (farmer term) not real sure how fresh it was, so that could have something to do with the sourness.

Beautiful look and aroma. The beer itself taste like a sweet bock. Very big fan of this beer, as I am most New Glarus brews.

Dark Red. Subtle yet deep aroma of big, caramel accented malt, fruit, peach skins, apples, cinnamon, erases and alcohol. Wonderful, gripping maltiness. Sugary as hell. Notes of dark fruits, caramel, banana and pit fruit. Unbelievably smooth. Just lovely.

Clear dark red. Sweet pineapple aroma. Defined alc taste with a thick malty punch. Very cloying as expected. Dry bitterness in finish. Very to-style. Easy to drink, very smooth.

Lighter than most of the style in color and body. The alcohol carries some of the nose and finish. In between is a nice mildly sweet, moderately malted vinous bock. Plums and pit fruit are at the front. Smooth finish, with the alcohol burning the nose more than the tongue.

Pours a dark brown, amber, with hints of crimson color. Small off white head. Aroma is of fresh baked bread, cherries, fresh made caramel/tofee, and some of ther grain/cereal notes. The flavor starts smooth, malty and goes into a grassy hop thing. Overall a tasty treat, oxidation is onsetting, age has done it some good, but dont let this one sit around much longer.

Brown body, dissipating head. Huge concentrated aromas - heated molasses, tree bark... Big malty flavors. Sweet, borderline cloying. Complex and smooth, but not something I could enjoy every day.
