Feb 6, 2010 11oz bottle. 1996 Vintage. Sticker on the bottle -> Vintage July 11, 1996 Number 38,656. Poured a medium to deeper mahogany color with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of toasted nuts (lots of nuttiness), caramel and some dark fruits in the background. Tastes of nuts (not as much as the aromas), toffee, caramel, lighter dark fruits, and toasted malts. This has aged nicely and I’m enjoying it!

Jan 31, 2010 Pours from the bottle to a dark brown color with little head or lacing, but that’s all that went wrong. Nose is a very complex mix of licorice, coffee and malty toffee, but at various times, I also got bubblegum and cotton candy. Mouthfeel was very full and pleasantly biting, and the taste built on those complex scents in the nose. Although the 9.2% abv was well hidden in both the nose and taste, it made itselfd known by way of the long warming finish.
A ver enjoyable beer on a cold night.

Jan 27, 2010 Draft @ Blind Tiger. Mahogany pour with a light tan head. Plumy aroma with some malt backing it up. Nice flavor, toffee, dark fruits, nuts, and even some maple notes, slight warming.

Jan 27, 2010 Bottle at the Fox River House in Appleton, Wisconsin. Pour was medium to deep golden brown with an aroma of toffee, sweet wheat, and light fruit. Yum, the flavors were well blended and on the sweeter side, which hid the alcohol quite well. Smooth, well attenuated brew that hit the spot. This is worth a try.

Jan 26, 2010 Bottle. Cellared for about a year.
Dark reddish brown with a small off-white head leaving small lacings.
The aroma is nice and round, but rather one-sided - malty with notes of dark fruits, wood and alcohol.
The flavor is very sweet with prominent malty flavors, fudge and lots of sweet fruits. Notes of wood and alcohol. Ends mildly bitter and sweet with a warming feeling from the alcohol.
Medium body, smooth oily texture.
Decent. Seems like cellaring made this one sweeter. Would probably be even better with one more year to it.

Jan 24, 2010 Dark browm, rootbeer like liquid, medium head similiar to a cola that dissapated after 2-3 minutes. Malty aroma. Taste is rather one dimesional, sweet finish. Not as good as The Urbock Dunkel Eisbock.

Jan 24, 2010 12oz brew from gourment beer of the month club, pours a solid cola color which is actually alot of fun, there are red flares streaking and solid dark brown shades which make this brew a pleasure to drink. Head starts fast and ends the same, elimnated quickly. Taste is pure goodness! With hints of rasins, black licorice and dark cholocate and some caramel, this is solid! The abv is snugged into the greatness of this brew which allows for total satisfaction. I could sip these all day... well not exaclty, but you get my point. The taste is just that good. A brew Im glad Ive tried. Quite a wonderful experience.
