| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Feb 24, 2006 Bottled. Clear dark brown, no head. Limp malt aroma. Medium sweet with clean mouthfeel. Crystalized sugar adds a dimension to an otherwise, by Eisbock-standards, underdeveloped malt profile. Notes of grassy hops and raisin. Some alcohol shining through in the finish.

Plenty of malts and instant coffe/chocolate in taste. Some caramell too. A pretty beer, and alcohol cannot be detected at all. Very well made... goldtwins (4084), Nesconset, New York, USA

Sweet aroma of grapes, fruit, toasty malt, plums and notes of raisins. Fruity flavor. Some dark fruits. Toasty with caramel. Medium to full body almost silky. Nice carbonation in the mouthfeel.

| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Dec 20, 2004 Bottle. Strong brown/rub red colour. No head at all. Almost port-like aroma - sour and wine like. Mouthfeel was pretty syrupy. Taste was boozy, and again, it had a wine sourness to it that really didn’t mesh well. Pretty unbalanced really. Not something I’d try again, but it was an effort. Thanks for sharing jercraigs. jerc (3954), Toronto, Ontario, Canada
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Dec 19, 2004 Dark ruby tinged brown body with a small creamy beige head. Big malty aroma, with dark fruit, alcohol and burnt brown sugar. Vinuous quality to it, malty with a tangy not quite sour character undertone. Alcohol is very well hidden if its the 9.5% on the label. I’ll be bock. Thanks for the bottle JoeMcPhee! stephen louis (162), Victoria, British Columbia, Canada
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Dec 13, 2004 On opening:plums,and fermented prunes.pours a very nice dark malt colour,like a bright black.Very small head that is dark tan and does not stick around,no lacing.
on taste:It is like a Abby,without the sweetness.Starts with a very mild molasses that turns to ripe plums and spice,the middle is warm,the finnish is dry,and mildly Carmel.
This beer has more bite then carbonation,at the front,good and comforting mouth-feel.
This is a one beer beer per night.
why you should try this beer:well put together,has quite a kick to it.Seasonal so if you don’t you won’t.
Why you should not try this beer: well it is a little light on carbonation and a little high on price.
