Eisenbahn Lust

Brewed by Cervejaria Sudbrack (Schincariol)
Style: Belgian Strong Ale
Blumenau (SC), Brazil

Serve in Trappist glass, Tulip, Tumbler

Bottle: Pours a slightly hazy effervescent golden with some yeast floaties and a big, frothy white head. Aroma of sweet biscuity pale Belgian malt with some caramely notes and a touch of light fruity esters. Starts very effervescent settling down into a sweet, sugary caramel complexity and some bready Belgian yeastiness. A pretty good, unique and authentic Belgian strong.

June 2007 - Golden yellow, smallish head. Strong aroma of sweet candy and malts. Overwhelming sweetness that made it hard to finish even my small portion (thanks to eaglefan538 for sharing nonetheless). Highly carbonated, slightly grassy or else this would have been totally undrinkable for me. Ugh...not again.

Courtesy of argo0. Clear golden body with a large white head, fading. Sweet and vinous nose with golden raisins, herbal/grassy hops and light caramel. The flavor is moderately sweet with light banana, pear, golden raisins and herbal hops. Medium body is soft with moderate carbonation.

Bottle shared by a combination (they split the cost) of captaincougar and kp at the footsex gathering.. Thanks fellas. These fine gentlemen also allowed me to sleep on the floor of their hotel room the night before the Sexual Chocolate release...very fine indeed. This beer has a lot of carbonation and some sweet, and sometimes sour flavors. Me and my palate were pretty spent by this point in the evening, but I did manage to scratch down some numbers corresponding to a score of some kind.

A light and golden honey yellow color, overflowing with effervescence. Huge, feathery, bone white head takes up half the flute. Not as pale as champagne. Aroma starts off with a dry, crisp aroma of pale malt, earthy oak, and a slight touch of acidity, almost Brett like. A bit of green apple tartness is also present. The flavor counterpoints the aroma with a more traditional Belgian Grand Cru sweetness of Candi sugar and caramel with light earthy spices. When the carbonation is stronger, there is the flavor of Granny Smith apples and a hint of sour cherry. Finish is both slightly tart and bitter, with sourness and a bit of floral hops. This can be two different beers depending on how its poured. With a gentle pour, that keeps the head low, the mouthfeel is highly carbonated to the point of being caustic. With a more vigorous pour, the mouthfeel is almost creamy, with delicate carbonation. Overall, a unique experience. A traditional Belgian Strong Pale with some interesting attributes brought about via the Methode Champagnoise. Alcohol presence was barely felt, although the sweetness does become a bit cloying after awhile.

Thanks to KP and CaptainCougar for this one. Clear gold color. Honey and grain in the nose. Flavor has honey and hops. Quite fizzy in the mouth.

The cork comes off, and out comes the beer. We got a gusher here folks. Pours a clear amber with a lot of little floaties moving around in there. Big head falls fast...just as champagne would. Nose is kind of sappy hop like. Flavor is tart and tangy. Seems a bit rough on the edge. Minor yeast tone. Strong sugar tone, but not in a way that I feel like it blends at all. It seems to stick out like a sore thumb. The carbonation at first seemed so biting that it was almost enough for me to just quit drinking the whole thing. It calms down a good bit, but then the liquid feels a bit too syrupy. Overall this is a so-so brew. In comparison to the two others of the style I have had before, Deus still reigns supreme. This doesn’t really come close at all and takes it’s place next to Krait. A waste of money (and way too much of it, IMO). Try the Deus instead.
