3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
0.33l bottle purchased at some Spar in Graz. Poured a beautiful red colour with a tiny beige head that vanished immediately. The nose is jam, alcohol and caramel. The taste is quite similar to that of Samichlaus, as complex but maybe less enjoyable. Alcohol, malt, jam, orange, vitamins, caramel, some hopiness and alcohol burn in the aftertaste. Felt as strong or even stronger than Samichlaus. Compared to the other eisbock I’ve had recently, Aventinus Weizen-Eisbock, this isn’t all that good. That was extremely tasty and enjoyable and this barely palatable compared to this. I can respect it, but now I understand why this is rated so low.

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.

Bottle from BevMo Mission Valley. Pours a crystal clear rosy amber color with minimal head. Nose of candied tree fruits and sweet malts. Flavor is a little boozy with sweet malt and sweet fruits.

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.

not sure of the age... prolly around a year.
reddish orange pour with a thin off white head.
the nose is really grainy and sweet... other notes of orange, flowers and alcohol stingy are kicking around as well.
the palate is thick though just shy of cloying... i guess that helps keep the alcohol under control... flavors noted of perfume, orange, grapefruit, caramel, loads of grainy sweetness, raisins and perhaps some nutty chocolate with a surprisingly dry finish.
thick, syrupy mouth feel makes it hard for me to finish a bottle alone...7/3/7/2.5/15/3.45
