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.

Pours a Deep clear amber with a grayish beige head that fades to a film bu tleaves nice lace. Aroma ia slight oxidation - cardboard and sherry notes (might be up a couple years old.) Fruity aroma of dates, plum, raisin, and sweet caramel malts, toffee, and nutty. Flavor is full with lots of caramel malts, more nuts, and a warming fruity alcohol kick in the end. Definitely a good winter warmer, but probably a bad choice to drink today sinc eit got into the upper 80’s. Still nice though.

Bottled. Pours a murky brown with no head. Fig, clove, and alcohol are in the nose. Sweet flavor of toffee and candied fruit. Very rich palate.

12oz bottle- Pours a dark brownish red with limited head. Aroma of licorice and coffee. Nice creamy mouthfeel with flavours of dark fruit and toffee. Alcohol is hidden well. I need to try more of this style.

I’m not too familiar with the Eisbock kind, however, I wasn’t too impressed about what this brought to the table. Starts off very smooth a subtle. Don’t taste toffee-like appeal. I do enjoy the lighter body, but if you get a mouthful, the end tastes almost Identical to an Evil Eye malt liquor. Very odd brew.

Bottled. Poured a clear shimmery copper with a very quickly-receding off-white head. Nose was sweet with rich vinous notes, mildly-toasted caramel, and alcohol-laced herbal hops... quite enticing. I loved the first half of the drink... velvety-smooth and medium-bodied with grapes and other darker fruits, buttered toffee, lightly-spiced rum, and grassy herbs... back end was rather sharp with alcohol and metallic notes taking center stage... finish was of dark fruits, toffee, and booze. Without the odd sharp stuff on the backend, this would be a 4. Helluva deal @ under $3.

Pours a dark brownish red color with almost no head. Sweet malty, slightly fruity aroma. Strong alcohol presence in the flavor but there is tons of maltiness going on here. Not really picking up any of the advertised coffee flavors. Just a sticky sweet eisbock. Enjoyable from start to finish.

Dark brown color with a head that goes away very quickly. Smells of nuts, fruits, and alcohol. Taste is sweet and malty with a hint of fruitiness. Not bad, pretty rich. After I drank this i was not feeling like drinking anymore beer. Its nice but I dont think I would go out of my way to find it, nor would I drink multiple bottles of this in a session.
