EKU 28

Brewed by Kulmbacher Brauerei (Schörghuber)
Style: Eisbock
Kulmbach, Germany

Serve in Dimpled mug, Snifter, Stein

Pours a bright ruby red into a snifter. Ten micro head leaves no lacing -- in fact, it tears. Tangy alcohol aromas. Sticky, sweet honey but almost crisp with a medium lasting hop to alcohol burn back to honey finish. Great apertif -- 11.2 oz could probably be shared.

12 OZ bottle via LIQUID sOLUTIONS. Pours a crystal clear amber with a large beige head. Aroma is very mellow with mostly just vanilla and toffee and perhaps some fruity melon. Wow this is sweet tasting...cloying...starts with a LOT of molasses, then some cherries, vanilla, raisins, and ends about as sweet as it started. Thin bodied. Some rummy alcohol present in the finish.Moderate to high carbonation. Not bad but would be better with more body and if it was not filtered.

Bottle, best before 22/01/07, shared by Brewnoser. Golden orange amber colour with a diminishing off-white head. Orange, citrus, and toffee aroma. Molasses, toffee, orange peel, nutty, and leafy flavours. Medium to full bodied, chewy mouthfeel. Surprised to see this is an Eisbock, and surprised to see it rated this low.

some quick bitterness soon joined by alcohol, oats, honey & fruitwood smoke. almost orange in its amberness. just slightly thick, quickly warming down the throat. that sharply sweet edge you get with the stronger beers, with some honey, vanilla, almost peppery. on sale for less than $2 I should have bought several.

Draught at Horsens Beerfestival. Aroma dominated by alcohol. More glycerin in the flavor suplemented with some residual sugar and a little bitterness. Average finish with more sugar, hops and alcohol.

another wish lister crossed off!! always wanted to try a eisbock....no real head..no lace...this is meant to get tipsy off of...sweet ,bold, mean, and german. quite flavourful considering...lots of aroma morsels; sweet honey,pale,alco,port,cherry,sugar,that smell you get after you get hit in the face with a soccer ball,sherry... bought at the bierkonig in amsterdam

Bottle (330ml) - best before 21-10-07. Via trade with Biegaman - thanks once again, Jan. Beautiful clear bronze pour with a decent frothy-creamy lasting beige head. Woody sweet toasted malt aroma, light bitter herbal hops, mulchy yeast, developed a strong peach-pit fruit character as it warmed, lovely character, hardly any alcohol noticed. Taste is very fruity - peach, apricot and pineapple - woody, resiny malt with more alcohol and less hop bitterness in the finish than the aroma would indicate - not 11% boozy, but you know it’s there. Slightly thin body, with a slick, astringent, alcoholic mouthfeel and a medium-long mild linger, decent complexity, you can tell this is not a particularly young beer - I like that! Compares quite favorably to Kulmbacher’s other Eisbock.

This is a real treat when it comes to strong lagers. Sweet and complex maltiness with just eneugh bitternes to make it work. the alcohol does not hide it self and if it did it could have fatal consequenses. At least for me...
