Style: Belgian Strong Ale
Blumenau (SC), Brazil

Serve in Trappist glass, Tulip, Tumbler

Bottle from Monument Liquors. VAL 07-20c It exploded and the foam hardly ever stopped. It did eventually. Aroma is like floral/fruit over caramel. Amber color with an unending head and tons of tiny champagne bubbles. Full bodied. Cramy carbonation. Quite vinous in flavor. The heat is in place, but hardly burns at all. Finish is far from dry. Something like a darkish tripel? A little oaky in the finish. Definitely goes well with food.

Aoma: malt, apricot and a light sharpness. Appearance: orange, perfectly clear with a large white head. Flavour: malty and sugar sweet with a hint of spice and distinct lack of hop. Palate: very thick balancing the heavy carbonation.

Vintage 2006, 750ml corked champnoise bottle. Opened with an explosive pop. Foam poured out of the bottle as half the liquid was spent. Womderful aroma of pale malt and a fruity yeast. Tall white head constructed by millions of tiny bubbles. From the violent opening, lots of yeasty floatties swirling around. Pale orange hue. Aromas of citrus and some medicinal scented hops, grainy malts, pale and bready. The flavor is quite surprising. Very sweet. Lots of fruit, lots of residual sugars, nice apple and pears sugary sweetness. Finishes with a well accomplished and quite impressive fruit ester that can only come from a well fed Champange Yeast strain. Perfect. Happy New Year 2009!.

Light straw color with a tall white head. Nice flow of bubbles continue to stream up. Pale malt, hint of light fruit and yeast in the aroma. LIght and airy feel with a deeper sweetness. Light caramel, pale malt, touch of bread yeast and light fruit. Not a trace of the alcohol in this one. The hit of my last party with not one dissension in the group. For me it was a light feeling triple with just a nice mix of malt and fruit. That coupled with the bubbly aspect as seemed to work.

7/28/2007 and 12/15/2007: Eisenbahn Lust is very lively and well-carbonated. It has a light copper orange/golden color and a big foamy (large bubbles) head that is a very light orangy-gold color. The aroma is yeasty, mildly sweet, and lightly fruity (tropical fruit). This beer is sweet (like sugar) and has flavors of fruity and toasty malt with a light bitterness in the finish. The alcohol content becomes apparent when the beer is at warmer temperatures. Eisenbahn is dry, light and efferevescent in the mouth, and has a bubbly mouthfeel like champagne. I really enjoyed this beer and look forward to sharing a bottle with my wife sometime soon. I think she will enjoy it as well since it is more like champagne than beer.

7/28/2007: Sample from 750 mL bottle (11.5% ABV, VAL 07 2008) shared at the "Columbus Tasting: Ate, now with gramatical errors" event. 12/15/2007: 750 mL bottle (11.5% ABV, VAL 07 2008) shared by Lance. Thanks! Rating #87 for this beer.

I found this unusual bottle at Shoreline in Huntington, Ny and brought it to a tasting last night. While the label was in Portugese, the beer flowed like Veuve Cliqot Demi sec (semi sweet) and tasted like the same. The assembled group loved the sample they got and thought it would be a great dessert beer.

Excelente! Aromas de abacaxi, aromas cítricos. Muito borbulhante como era de se esperar. Boa formação de espuma, o que se deve ao copo onde ela deve ser servida. Encorpada e potende no álcool, porém as notas de álcool não são muito presentes no seu paladar.

750 ml bottle thanks to xnoxhatex for popping open this champagne beer. After that cork popped this overflowed with a huge fizzy white head. Nose is citrus, grain, some herbal hops, yeast and really sweet. Along with the sweetness the alcohol begins poking out as the head slides down. Sweet malty grain flavors with more of that alcohol. It doesn’t taste 11.5% but it sure tastes as if there is too much booze here. The malt is too weak to back up all that alcohol and the faint herbal and grassy hops, aren’t very effective either.
