May 9, 2008 Updated: May 11, 200812oz 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!

Apr 13, 2008 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.

Feb 17, 2008 Updated: Feb 22, 2008Bottle. Thanks to Eric for sharing this retired beer. Pours a deep brown with a nice beige head; I guess this beer is still kicking! The aroma was fairly woody, with some some bourbon and oxidized notes. The taste is mostly raisin, wood, and a sweetness that eludes description. Not much of an alcohol warmth left, in fact it was pretty smooth. Really, there is no reason that they retired this beer. It has become full of so many flavors that makes it quite interesting and good.

Feb 17, 2008 Bottle: Dark mahogany color, thick color throughout, light head. Nose of light sherry, fruity malts; cherry, light wood and fig. Nice sweetness to compliment the well-aged taste to the beer. The flavor is balanced, very little alcohol presence and a mellow sweet flavor that kicks with a little hop bitterness towards the end. Brown sugar and raisin with a little berry sweetness. Very good! Thanks a ton to footbalm for bringing this one up to Boise for me to try! You rock!

Jan 23, 2008 Dark burguny pour, small faint white head. Aroma is straight brandy very liquor, brown sugar, caramel. Flavor is caramel, more brandy like flavors, not hot but boozy almost barrel-aged tasting. Some vanilla, lots of oak, a bit of chocolate and roastiness with some slight fruity esters, raisens, figs. Cloying sweetness but low on carbonation and medium bodied. Let this baby warm some toasted notes come out and more of that sweet brandy. What a different but damn good beer. Not sure where this came from but thank you for this very rare brew.
