Apr 12, 2005 (Bottle, room temperature) Pours a deep mahogany body with a frothy off-white head. Aroma of caramel, malt, and earthiness. Flavor of toffee and malt. Chewy finish.

Mar 26, 2005 Glowing ruby brown color with a small off-white head. Strong dark fruit, malt, and spice aroma. Nice sweet malt, cinnamon, corriander, and brown sugar flavors. Nice warming feel, with a dry hops finish.

Mar 26, 2005 Dark reddish brown color with a small off-white head. The aroma was full of tobacco, nuts, undefined spices (?), and a metallic soil character. The flavor was much of the same...very sweet...with a metallic aftertaste. The feel was quite crisp on the tongue...warming on the thorat...dry finish.

Mar 19, 2005 Poured small head, diminishing slowly, with some sliding lacing after a good sip.
Aroma is musty, moldy, generally smells like "old". Extremely grainy in smell and taste. I like the power of the flavor (I detest weak flavors in any type). It seems as if it were a wine it would need more aging. All in all I would recommend it to anyone that wnats a mouthfull of flavor!

Mar 18, 2005 Dark brown/red color with very little head. Sweet malt aroma with hints of molasses and toffee. Fairly sweet flavor
of malts, molasses and dark fruit. A bit of hops on the finish keep this beer from being cloyingly sweet. Alcohol makes itself known throughout, but is never overpowering. Very enjoyable, but not spectacular.

Mar 3, 2005 Dark ruby red color with litle to no head. Sweet mild malt aroma. Flavor was sticky sweet and malty, but pretty boring. Very easy to drink but not even the least bit interesting. Why is this rated so highly?

Feb 12, 2005 Very dark red-brown with a medium-sized off-white head that falls to a thin, large-bubbled ring. Rich, sweet aroma: molasses, brown sugar, toffee, dates, and a slight alcohol burn at the end. There is a certain mustiness to the aroma, something I can only compare to suede leather- I couldn’t quite put my finger on it. Such rich malts in this, the flavor brings many ripened fruit flavors (plums, dates) to the party, light coffee, roasted nuts and caramel. Dry, slightly alcoholic finish. Chewy, full mouthfeel, like chomping on a big piece of taffy. It took nearly 800 different beers, but I’ve finally had an eisbock!
