| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Nov 13, 2009 Hand-bottle from Paul. I was a little worried about opening this as a nightcap. I have to be awake for work in 6 1/2 hours. But damn if it didn’t look so freaking good sitting there in my icebox. First sip, damn this shit is smooth. A lot going on- dark fruits, char, dark chocolate with cherries, pretty decadent, complex, and smooth. Really nice beer overall. Shit this is good. michael-pollack (2652), King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 6, 2009 Draught at TND: Aroma of slight chocolate, light peat, slight smoke, and dark malts. Poured very dark brown/ruby/black in color with a small, light brown head that diminished greatly but lasted as a film on top of the beer. Clear. Not sparkling. Complex flavor is light to medium sweet. Tastes of malts, fruit, slight peat, cherry, light dark ripe fruits, light wood, and hints of banana and tar. Medium body. Thin, dry texture. Soft carbonation. Malt, slight wood, and slight peat finish is dry. 11.5%ABV is completely hidden. bigrond (1044), factoryville, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 30, 2009 Dark and delicous. This brew had a fruity sweetness that tasted great. I have never had an Eisbock so I don’t have anything to compare it to, but standing alone this brew can holds it own,

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Mar 29, 2009 Tap at Spuyten Duyvil. Deep brown beer with a thick sticky white head. A bit of light raisins and a bit of cherry. Quite wheaty smelling. The flavour is lightly tart and sour. A bit of chewiness and lots of alcohol. It smells much sweeter than it tastes. A bit of dark maltiness and a bit of clovey spiciness as well. What can I say... it tastes Ramsteiny... which isn’t exactly a compliment. Rciesla (3600), Exit 15W, New Jersey, USA

Big etoh latent fruits, hints of pear and apples and some chewy malty caramel. Some light spices and unrefined sugars. Sweet and warming. Chocolate and chewy with a light mineral feel. Sweet and dry accented by licorice.
