Philip (436), Illinois, USA Jul 4, 2006 Bottle purchased at Tenuta’s in Kenosha, Wi. Can’t beat the price of 7.50 for a 4-pack. Pours a lovely crimson hue. Notes of brown sugar, honey,clove and walnut on the nose and palate. Muted hops until the finish, where the hops come a bit alive with the alcoholic finish. Well done, among the best eisbocks I’ve tasted. Dickinsonbeer (3434), Hoboken, New Jersey, USA Jul 3, 2006 Updated: Jan 6, 2007Last HWOH. Pours a medium amber, clear and a thin off white head. Aroma has slight hints of alcohol and lightly sovlent-like with bready and caramel malts- almost like a strong Maibock. Bready and malty flavors, moderate sweetness, toasty and nutty with hints of alcohol. Overall, pretty clean and tasty. Nice eisbock. notalush (2627), Denver, Colorado, USA Jun 28, 2006 Copper/amber with creamy, thick, white lace - strong aroma of dark fruit, caramel, lots of herbs and spices (almost "Christmas-like") - not overpoweringly sweet and thick like many eisbocks can be; this is actually quite delicate and dangeroursly easy to drink - caramel and toffee lay underneath a thick blanket of warming spices - smooth, doppelbock-ish finish, with a touch of warming alcohol to round it all out - a well-crafted brew. apoptosis (1316), Long Island, New York, USA Jun 28, 2006 Updated: Jul 3, 2006Thanks very much to StewardofGondor for this brew! Big-bubbled ecru-colored head over a dark orange body. Strong fruity, caramel-filled aroma. Nicely bittered finish. Very sweet and bitter, but not too syrupy at all. Strong herbal qualities as well as an interesting grassiness. Makes me feel a part of nature. Creamy and smooth finish, with a touch of alcohol astringency. For me it’s a little bit too sweet and syrupy after the first couple of sips, but its an eisbock, afterall. TheDean (785), MIlwaukee, Wisconsin, USA Jun 25, 2006 My buddy told me about this beer and I knew I had to try it. One of my fav. beers made better - who wouldn’t want some. Damn fine beer that kicks a lot of ass. This is great stuff! Styles (1653), Lincoln Park, Michigan, USA Jun 23, 2006 Bottle courtesy of Ughsmash. Brilliant amber color with 1 finger beige head. Aroma is full of caramel/toffee, bready with a faint alcohol. Flavor much the same. Caramel/toffee character is incredibly smooth. Again breay/biscuity flavor through the middle with some warming alcohol in the finish. Perfectly smooth mouthfeel. Well done. heemer77 (4294), Savannah, Missouri, USA Jun 22, 2006 Thanks for the bottle, Mark. The head is light khaki with a dark amber body. The nose has sweet fall leaves and some toffee. There are also some apples. This is intense. The flavor is strong with alcohol and some apples. There is also some toffee. This is not subtle and certainly interesting. Fall leaves and walnuts make for a dry finish. This is well made and I actually like it more than Autumnal Fire. BrockLanders (747), Panama City, Florida, USA Jun 22, 2006 Thanks Matt for this great brew. Dark amber pour.....small beige head. Malty sweet nose...flavor is big caramel, vanilla, fruity. Medium to full bodied...very tasty. Nice touch of bitterness toward the end. This was a very very good eisbock.
