UPDATED: JUN 19, 2010 CBF2009: Dark brown. Has an off-white head, mostly lasting. Aroma is heavy malty, cereals, burnt, coffee. Moderate yeasty. Flavor is moderate sweet, bitter too. Creamy texture, moderate alcohol. Re-rate: Much better on a bottle, bbe 2012, lots of nice bread, chocolate.

It’s dark, red-brown with a creamy head. The aroma has notes of plum, roasted malt, caramel, rasin and light chocolate. The flavour is sweet with notes of plum, raisinm, roasted malt, caramel, licorice, dark syrup, and the long finish has a dry, light bitterness with hints of orange and grapefruit. It’s very interesting and a fullbodied nice beer.

60 cL bottle, trade with HenrikSoegaard. Pours dark brown, yet with a golden deep amber glare and visible, small tan head. Dark roasted malt aroma. Liqourice, bitter, hoppy and roasted malt flavoured. Roasted caramelish and liqourice finish with a nice lasting bitterness.

(60cl bottle thanks to bu11zeye) clearish ruby with creamy tan edge bubbles. Nose of rich milk chocolate, caramel, sweet grain, bready, raisins and mild oxidation. Taste of rich caramel, raisin, toasty grain, mild oxidation, prickly carbonation and a creamy body. Nice eisbock.

(60cl bottle) Pours a brown body with a small beige head. Aroma roasted mal, toasted coconut, raisins, and dates. Flavor of roasted malt, caramel, anise, brown sugar, and some burnt grain.

Dark ruby-red-brown color with little light brown head. Rich aroma with raisins, overly sweet and dark fruits, salty-licorice and some yeastiness. Medium to full bodied. Flavor is also salty dominated by licorice and raisins, yeast comes up and lasts in still sweet aftertaste, thin cardboard also here. Nice one.

Thanks to bu11zeye for sharing this bottle. The beer pours a brownish-red color with a tan head. The aroma is very heavy on the toffee and brown sugar/molasses notes. The flavor is more of the same. I get a lot of toffee and molasses notes, as well as a good bit of dark fruit such as cherries and figs. The alcohol is also quite present. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation. A decent Eisbock.

Marhogny color with a small lasting beige head. Good lacing. Aroma: Malt, liquorice, raisin, chocolate. Taste: sweet, chocolate, heavy liquorice. Pretty good beer.
