Ungstrup (11353), Frederiksberg, Denmark Jun 2, 2005 [At GABF 2004] A dark red-brown beer with a fine cream colored head. The aroma is of roasted bread and toffee, while the flavor is sweet roasted with primary notes of caramel. The body is quite powerful. Good without being exceptional. Kasteelfreak (341), Fallbrook, California, USA Jan 21, 2005 Reminded me a little of Oggis Colosses. There was a lot of fruitiness including prune date, and grape juice. Alcahol was there, but the overall hop/malt/alcahol balance was exceptional. arjoseph (557), Chicago, Illinois, USA Jan 19, 2005 2004 GABF, Denver. An intriguing aroma of Pine Sol and caramel malt (but in a good way); good lacing and "racing." Chewy and sweet, the flavor reminds me of orange peel and lima beans. Somehow, this tasted really good. A sublte dry hopiness emerged on a good finish. Crosling (1660), Loveland, Colorado, USA Jan 6, 2005 Updated: Apr 24, 2007Draught @ Pizza Port in Carlsbad. Stunning. Dark tawny with a small head of light tan foam. Beautiful color. Aromatics of dark fruits (plums, raisins), caramel, chocolate and alcohol. Incredible flavor with hints of caramel-laden fruits, raisins, plums and leather. Hearty, herbal and very manly overall. This is one serious beer. CaptainCougar (4663), Rockville, Maryland, USA Oct 9, 2004 GABF 2004: Clear mahogany brown with a nice cream-colored head. Rich, thick caramel aroma with a hint of lager yeast profile. Starts thick and syrupy with some chocolate chip cookie dough and toffee flavor. Great complexity and balance throughout this gem. Really authentic tasting and very little noticeable alcohol. An excellent Eisbock!
