Bottle. Pours a rich caramel color with a medium off white head that leaves a decent lacing on the glass. Aroma of caramel, lightly roasted malt, spices and nuts. Taste is silky smooth with a creamy mouthfeel. A complex, well made and pefectly balanced brew that finishes with a bit of oak aged, brown sugar and cherry flavor. Nice!

12oz - Thanks CaptainCougar - Aroma of carmel, toffee, cherry, and raisin. Pours brownish-red with a small head and great lacing. Flavor is much stronger than aroma with the alcohol taking the lead followed by a chewy carmel back. Goes down remarkably smooth for 10%, but still warms. Palate is slick and smooth. Quite a tasty brew.

I had the base for this beer, Autumnal Fire, right before and it is an interesting comparison. The body is much fuller and slicker in the eisbock, but the flavors are subtle and more intricate in the dopplebock. They are both excellent.

Pleasant eisbock sent in by jpm30 and by flyingbison. Above averge for the style but does not touch the Niagara Falls version in tate or hoppiness, with maltiness most pronounced, and the alcohol hidden. Suitable carbonated and easily and dangerously drinkable.
