This beer has a very bold , amber appearance (almost red!) with no carbonation. The aroma is spice-like, rather sweet, and almost like an ale. The taste is quite rich and caramel-like, not as sweet as the aroma, though. The malt is very present. Quite smooth. This is a harder beer to describe myself, as I am not too used to eisbocks, but this is excellent! (Note: This beer is a limited release.)

Copper-orange body with tiny, light brown bubbles in a moderate head. Malts, candy, citrus, fruits and alcohol fill the nose. Alcohol dominates the flavor before sweet malts kick in. Still, the finish is peppery with alcohol and slightly bitter. Moderate carbonation with smooth and soft palate. The aroma outshines the flavor.

Bottle. Poured a dark amber color with a nice white head. Aroma is primarily malty, smelling the slightest hint of hops in the finish. The malt smell is mostly caramel. Flavor is malts, spice, and caramel. Fairly decent beer, but I don’t think I like the style.

Pours a gorgeous tawny red with a larger than expected head that leaves a sticky lace behind. The aroma is strongly malty with a soft ginger and peach fruitiness along with caramel and spicecake. This is a very good beer.

12 oz bottle. Yummy, this beer is great. Pours a clear dark amber with a nice head and oversized bubbles. Flavor is sweet nutty carmel with mild hints of spice, brown sugar and vanilla. You can feel the alcohol in this one. Definitely heavy mouthfeel, but in a good way. Nice brew.

12 oz. bottle bought on vacation @ Brewery. Slight sweet and spicey aroma. Dark amber with tan head. Flavor is spicy but also has a sweet malt balance. Some cherry wood flavor also. Smooth sipping beer and somewhat body warming. Good brew.

in bottle. rich amber with a dark beige head. aroma of honey and molasses... with a touch of parmesan. sweet flavor, with a lagging hop bitterness that stops short of great. chewy, thick and delicious, but not too thick. lingering and bright.
