Oct 22, 2008 Bottle. Pours a murky brown. Intense flavors of dark fruits, spice, malts and a warming alchohol finish. Alcohol is hidden fairly well for a 12% abv

Oct 16, 2008 Well, I love Aventinus and this Eisbock is definitely sharing a lot of the same qualities. The flavor is full of brown sugar, bananas foster and that slightly rough alcohol finish. However, with 12% abv, you can really feel the heat. While not entirely unpleasant, it has the abrasive heat of hard liquor. It’s a nice kick, but taken to such a level that it’s hard to enjoy the palate. Aroma is pretty much same as flavor profile but sweeter. Overall, I’ll stick with aventinus, but still a good boozy brew.

Oct 12, 2008 Wow what a great beer! 12%? Hard to believe! Brown pour and a small tan head. Sweet delicious aromas of raisins, prunes, molasses, brown sugar and syrup. Flavor is concentrated, sweet and wonderful. I am glad I have another bottle to drink!!

Oct 8, 2008 Bottle @ The Porterhouse, Covent Garden. Many thanks to Pauline for the heads up. Looked a clear ruby colour in the dim light with a nice off white head. Wow, what an aroma, slight oxidization with marzipan, leather, raisins, sultanas, treacle, port, banana, stewed plums, caramel and brandy soaked Christmas pud...it’s just as I imagined.
The taste is much the same, notes of stewed plums reduced in port and some heat from the alcohol but nothing I can’t handle. Although, I do feel myself glowing a bit. Lots of yeast in the last pour that adds a few chunky floaties and haze but also some much needed body. Man, I need a night with Utopias, Triple Bock, Mikkeller 黑, Lees Harvest and this, mmmmmmmmmm...

Oct 4, 2008 Bottle in the porterhouse. Alround rating: Showing signs of age, dark plum like fruits, oxidised sherry madera wine notes, loads of brown candy sugar like sweetness. Perhaps one of the hardest to drink beers ever, like along the lines of a fresh thomas hardy as its too carbonated, but it is quite tasty.
