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.

Bottled. A dark amber beer with a fast disappearing brown head. The aroma is very sweet malty with strong notes of caramel. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of both alcohol, caramel, and pumpernickle bread.

(Bottle 33 cl) Courtesy of Degarth. Clear, warm, orangey brown with a small, off-white head. Fat aroma of roasted malt and overripe fruit. Very solid body with plenty of roasted malt and overripe fruit. Also a distinctly warming alcohol. Subdued bitterness. A nice one indeed. 311007

33 cL bottle. Pours hazzlenut brown, clear, with an amber hue and a lacing light brown head. Dried fruity and wineous aroma. Full bodied mouthfeel. Flavour is sweet and deep malty with notes of dried fruit, not overly sweet but with a slight acidity. Ends with a mild bitterness and a warming alcohol feeling.

Draught, 10% at de Wildeman. Very dark brown colour, seems clear. Small lacy frothy head. The flavour is quite sweet with some fresh fruits. Nice caramelly pepper notes along with sweet dark malts. OK complexity. Not alcoholic-tasting.

dark clear brown, thin beige head, lots of lace, sweet alcoholic malt aroma, big rich malt flauor, huge body, too sweet and cloying, what were they thinking?

Deep reddish-brown; decent head; rich aroma like roast beef, rich munich malts, pecans, demerara, tobacco. Wonderful malt palate - demerara again, chewy earth, wood. Long, wonderful malt finish. Hint of alcohol. Damn Eggenberg rocks.

Clear chestnut body with smallish beige head. Aroma is rich, moderately sweet, caramel, coffee, malty, earthy. Taste is sweet, toffee-coffee-caramel, malty, earthy, finishing with pleasant smokey alcohol burn/warming. Medium-full body, but still lighter than everything else about it would suggest. Easily my favorite of the Eggenbergs I've tried.

Bottle: Aroma has malt and butter. Full bodied, thick oily and buttery beer. Sweet flavor with roasted malt, raisin, apple, peach and a lot of alcohol. Long roasted bitter chocolate finish. 7 4 7 2 13 = 3.3 Tap, Café de Engel Oldenzaal. Full malty aroma. Sweet but with a firm roasty malt character and in spite of the high ABV, a firm flowery hop character. Warming alcohol. Smooth and well balanced. Good!
