Dec 22, 2003 Clear mahogany, not much head. Malty and somewhat buttery aroma. Flavor was similar, not much hops, alcohol present. Fuller body. I wasn't overly impressed but it was still pretty good.

Dec 20, 2003 Off whitish head--brown see through. Strong caramel aroma with chocolate overtones. Flavor is same with a great deal of sweetness. Slight alcohol burn at the end. Something doesn't quite fit with this beer but I'll be damned if I know what it is.

Dec 1, 2003 Rich brown color almost the same color as the bottle it came from, translusent. No head. The commercial description is right on keel here, it was a warm toffee & carmel malty sweetness. Not sure about the hops, they are barely disearnable. Sweet finish. Excellent Eisbock!

Nov 28, 2003 Thanks to argo0 for this brew. It's a clear reddish brown color with a big malt flavor. What's particularly nice is the alcohol is well hidden. It's sweet & sticky on the tongue.

Nov 2, 2003 Bought in 11.2 oz brown bottle with gold label and gold paper round the neck;
Pours a deep red , ruby colour with a off white head which quickly dissapears leaving a ring of lace around the glass.
Oh wow what a fantastic aroma this beer gives off..very malty chewy, chocolatey, prunes ..some black cherry great
Taste ? all of the above plus a nice warming jolt of alcohol..very little bitterness..the prune taste stays a while good.
Very very smooth for such a strong beer..nice feel on the tongue good amount of carbonation ( little).
Very very drinkable for one so darn strong..have to be very careful with this.
My first taste of this type of beer and I am very impressed..cheers!!

Oct 5, 2003 Pours a pellucid amber color with a little head. Aroma is very sweet and slightly dopplebockish. Flavor is very malty and fruity. Finishes sweet, not cloying but pretty smooth. Not a bad eisbock.

Oct 1, 2003 11.2 oz brown bottle. No freshness date seen. But, then again none needed at almost 10% ABV. Poured out a dark saddle tan color, almost a brown. No head to speak of, but it did leave a lacing around the rim of the glass. Aromas are of sweet malts, yeast, and dried fruits. Extremely smooth & creamy mouthfeel to it, even though it has such a high alcohol content. Finishes smooth & even. Rich mouthfeel to it, almost chewy in texture. Slight roasted oatmeal aroma to it as it warms up. Warming to the old stomach too. Would make an excellent nightcap. Actually, it did make an excellent nightcap.

Sep 21, 2003 Dark ruby body, small beige head. Candyish aroma at first, then some caramel, bitter chocolate, dark rum, macerated raisins and nutty notes. The flavor starts with caramel, then goes to plums, chocolate and a bitter finish. Long lasting flavour developpement, a very good warming beer.
