3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Clear deep bronze and despite an A1 pour it has no head what-so-ever. Aroma is as you’d expect sweet caramely and alcoholic, taste is sweet and malty but with a slight harsh finish and the cold tea appearance it looses points.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Golden dark brown colour with a nice frothy mostly lasting off-white head. Sweet aroma of some roasted malt, caramel, alcohol, spices and fruity hops. Flavour is sweet, rather smooth, nice maltiness, caramel, some spices, nice fruitiness, slight chocolate. Bit of a port like sweet dry finish. Easy to drink and pretty good with desserts. A good Echt Kulmbacher.

Caramel color. Smell of wine, spice, malt, fruit, nuts, toasted caramel, alcohol and hints of vanila beans. Taste of plums, cherries, toasted malt, caramel, spice, toffee, nuts and alcohol. Very high alcohol taste and it really warms your body up. I like it! Thanks Brewblackhole!

Bottle. Poured a red hazy body with decent size head. Aroma was very sweet malty. Flavor was sweet also with a nice kick to it. Alcohol level very lightly detected, smooth for the style.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle: Very clear copper color with a small, quick to dissapate white head. No lacing at all. Nose is quite fruity, malty, and hints of cider qualities. Taste is sweet with fruits and malt with a warming alcohol finish. For my first ever Eisbock I was quite pleased.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle from Malt of the Earth. Pours a clear bright amber with a large but fading white head. Full body with rather full carbonation. Lightly malty aroma. Sweet taste of caramel and fruit. Warming and lightly bitter finish. I’d be willing to trade a little less alcohol for a little more complexity and balance.
3.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle, poured a brilliant crystal clear copper color with huge white head. Slight malty aromas with a bit of alcohol. Delicious flavor, warming with a covering consistency. Caramel, sugar, ginger snaps? A wonderful beer. I glad I have a few more to allow to age a bit.
2.4 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Dark, golden brown. Personally I thought even the aroma was cloying: sweet and honeyed. The taste was similar: sweet, sticky, oily, smoky, malty, with a lot of alcohol and a little dryness. Irritatingly fizzy. Pleased I tried it once, but it’s just not my cuppa..
