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.

(11.2 oz bottle from <A HREF=http://www.ratebeer.com/Place/maryland/baltim target=blank>Wells Discount Liquors) Excellent...Pours darkish tea brown with 1/2" of light tan head. Aroma is excellent - malty, raisiny, sugary sweetness. Mouthfeel smooth, full, very lightly sticky in finish. Thin rings of lacing. Flavor is just big malty brown sugar and raisins with that German sort of light smoky malt note through finish. Yummy. Classic.

On draft at De Paas, The Hague. Clear maroon-coloured, almost no head. Malts, molasses and caramel. Bittersweet long-lasting finish. Pretty heavy. (3.7) Re-rate: Bottled version. The last beer of the evening, and a perfect finisher. Heavy and complex. I guess i like the bottled version better.

Tap, ABT Dec 06. Clear light brown color, short off-white head. Aroma is hoppy and malty, almost cognac-like, hint of vinegar, fruity. Very sweet taste, sugar, loads of malt, toffee, slightly sour. More like a barley wine. Not bad, but still I prefer a regular belgian double.

Garnet black body (not opaque) and tranquil. Fragrant aroma of sugar plum, raisin and alcohol. Wow!- Alcohol packs a punch with additional flavors of plum, sweet malt and fig. Hops are more noticeable as beer warms. Finish is bitter and a bit tongue numbing.

Bottled. Very much overrated beer here at ratebeer. Why such high scores. It’s just an attempt to create a high ABV lager. Although I must admit they did that well. Very alcoholic aroma of raisin and apple accompanied with loads of malts. Orange/brown color, greyish/beige head, no lace. Very sweet, very malty, bitter, apple. Thick, syrupy and very alcoholic. We should create a new style for this one: European Super Strong Lager.

pours dark brown with nice creamy head...smells of yeast and fruity raisins and a hint of sugar plum. taste very sweet and lite on the palate...very creamy and warming and leaves you with a nice finish. very pleasant and enjoyable. Im sure this would go great with a nice dinner and some fine women.
