Commercial Description:
Tradition reborn - Eisbock Kraftbier, a beer with patina, over 100 years old, once prescribed as a medicine for weak recovering patients - is currently celebrating its renaissance as URBOCK DUNKEL EISBOCK. Brewed with special dark malt and fermented with traditional Eggenberg yeast, this beer has a maturation period of up to nine months. Dark brown in color with an alcohol content of almost 10% by volume, URBOCK DUNKEL EISBOCK has a pleasant, full, and creamy body, with the aroma of coffe, surprisingly light on the tongue despite the alcohol content. Warming with toffee-like malty sweetness, balanced by a hoppy-bitterness in the finish, it is a power beer, as its traditional Austrian name says, best enjoyed after dinner or as an evening drink.

Malt aroma leads to a sweet near chocolate flavor on the palate with a light body and good bitterness. Alcohol is present but it’s kept under wraps thanks to the beer’s smooth character.

Dark red color with no head. Aroma of sweet malt and soy sauce. The taste is much the same: soy, salt, malt, with a bit of bacon at the end. If you’re not a fan of the semi-sweet and salt mix, bail on this one!

Wow, this Eisbock is a big boy of a brew. Musty aroma, good lacing throughout the sample. Malty sweetness is present, all ingredients are combined to make a great Austrian beer.

Bottle: Rich mahogany hue topped by a fading frothy head and good lace. The aroma has heavy caramelized and smoked malting, brown sugar, fig and prune, floral and grassy hops, earthy esters and allspice. The taste starts malty sweet with a subdued fruity background. I get some bittersweet chocolate, smoke, and mild bitters. Well balanced all things considered. The feel is lush and heavy yet enough bite on the aftertaste to keep it interesting. A nice warmer for sure and surprisingly complex. Yummy!

Deep mahogany in color. Simply beautiful. Impressive, 1" foamy mass for a head. Aroma predominantly consists of caramel, figs and a dash of pepper and cinnamon. Very rich in flavor - buttercream, caramel and pecans. Maple / oak undertones compliment a Dutch chocolate-like sweetness. Body is smooth and sweet; heavy and solid. Extraordinarily balanced. Slight alcohol twang on the tongue and warming in the throat, but otherwise, the high ABV is well-masked. Smooth and seductive. Well done. An impressive Eisbock.

Detected a sweet licorice aroma. Dark brown body with a good head and decent lacing left on the glass. Had a lower flavor at first but after reading the description I had noticed this was used as medicine. That was the flavor I detected a sweet cough syurp with a mild stale aftertaste. Decent beer

Poured dark brown with smallish head.Very sweet malty aroma and flavor with heavy alcohol finish. To sweet for my taste.
