3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
UPDATED: JAN 20, 2010 Draught at Freakin’ Frog. Honestly a fairly nice eisbock. Poured a still copper colout with no real head. Big aroma of caramel and molassas plus a little alcohol. Huge caramel flavour plus some more sweetness from brown sugar. Finishes with some alcohol warmth. I thought it was very enjoyable.

bottle thanks to bitbucket. caramel pour with some off white head. aroma is intensly sweet malt, bubblegum like, somewhat fruity, and still a tad grainy. flavor is exactly the same with a small malt / alcohol bite. it really reminds me of the huge budweiser private reserve that i had around christmas a couple years back.

Bottled@EBF 2008. Brilliant deep amber color, virtually no head. The aroma has a soft, delicate sweet and nutty malt profile, lots of ripe fruits and a noticeable, but inoffensive alcohol scent. Taste is vinous, gently sweet, full malty with a plummy fruitiness. Notes of mild bittering hops, molasses and port. Chewy mouthfeel. Full-bodied. A pleasant alcohol heat in the finish. Powerful and balanced. A treat.

11.2 oz from my departmental picnic - thanks, John! Been a while since I’ve had this. Rich, full bodied, and very sweet, it’s got heavy carbonation to keep things from getting to syrupy and to mask the alkie burn just a bit. Lots and lots of caramel malts tend to mask some of the distinctiveness of the eisbock style, but it’s certainly a fairly pleasant rendtion.

Bottle, from Noel Cuveliers, Abele. Warm tangerine colored pour, a bit of off-white head that settles away almost immediately. Deep rummy raisin aroma, viney, spicy port, deep caramel sweetness. Chewy caramel sweetness up front, a pleasant earthly quality, bright carbonation that gives the impression of dryness to the finish. Very well constructed, and understated for its strength. Nice beer.

A strong beer, smells like caramel and malt, sweet malty flavour with lots of caramel with a strong alcohol finish.

I drank this w/o reading the label first so I was shocked by the first sip of alcohol sweetness, but in the end it wasn’t bad, much like a barley wine.
