Brewed by New Glarus Brewing Company
Style: Eisbock
New Glarus, Wisconsin USA

a very good beer. from a awesome beer company. i'm very upset that New Glarus is no longer avaible in Illinois. i think the trips up to wisconsin are well worth it (knowing that i can always get this beer up there. i tried the differant beers from this company and i was amazed on how plesantly refreshing they are(the beers) i give all the beers i tried from this company 10,5,10,5,20 keep up the good work New Glarus. you have a customer for life.

Utterly fantastic. I was in awe at this beer...if you ever see a bottle, grab it immediatley. It’s like Salvator, but more complex.

Incredible. Glad I was able to get my hands on one of these before it’s extinct. Pours medium tinted, radiant brown with a thick, 1" foamy head. Smells very malty with a discernable alcohol presence. Taste is all encompassing - bright, lively caramel and roasted malts. Slightly oaky, with a tobacco edge and burnt aftertaste. Gets a little more acidic and syrupy as it warms. This is a great winter warmer, but I’d be willing to drink it during any season. I know, some sacrifice, right?

Bottle courtesy of Footbalm: Man am I glad I’m getting a few more of these in a trade! Pours ruby red with a faint but stubborn tanish ring of bubbles around the glass. Smells of nuts, brandy, scotch, toffee and cherries waft from the glass. Tastes nutty with toffee, butterscotch, scotch, and a touch of raisins and apricots. Mouthfeel is buttery and semi-flat. The alcohol is very well masked in this one. I hope they do another batch eventually as this stands alongside their rasberry fruit beer and cherry fruit beer.

This beer is all about roasted barley, with notes of caramel and malt. Really a fantastic beer, my favorite unplugged to date. The palette suits the flavors, moderately tight.

Only 2nd beer of this style. Aventinus Weizen-Eisbock was very good. Again this gem comes from John (JPDIPSO). No head out of the bottle. The caramel and coffee surges to the front of your tastebuds and says hello I’m pretty damn awesome!!!! Tastebuds don’t lie, this is much much better than Aventinus. Awesome beer. Dark Ruby color, lots of gravity in every mouthful. This is simply a great beer!!!! No exceptions or exclusions. You want great beer, Wisconsin has it and these guys have lassoed a big chunk of the greatness in every drop of this beer. Simply incredible beer.

This was a really great beer. It poured a nice deep chestnut color with a tan colored head. The flavor was roasty, with some caramel hints and the alcohol is well hidden. Recommended.

Bottle, thanks to ClarkVV (the DD). Fantastic aroma of brown suggaa, molasses, toffee, raisins, etc, that reminds me of the great doppels and eisbocks from Germany. Big malty flavor with raisins, brown sugar again, figs, prunes. Very smooth and well conditioned. This is very nicely made. I wish it was available in NJ.
