Exquisit one, I was very dizzy at the end of it but I liked it very much. It is dark and very alcoholic, with good head.

3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. Aroma of sweetness and alcohol pierce the nose. Caramel aroma also present along with some wet corn aroma in the finish. Dark orange body with not much of a head. Flavor was sweet caramel till middle of beer. A sticky sweet leather flavor appears with some wet corn. Sweet sticky licorice aftertaste on the palate. Need some water for palate rinse. Decent brew.
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
08.20.05 11.2oz bottle. Brilliant copper-golden, no sediment; medium-sized light tan head fades quickly leaving a slight ring. Aroma of plums, raisin, booze, grape juice, grenadine. Full, round, fruity, and chewy. Sweet bread with honey and apple butter, but never too sweet. Alcohol lends a finishing driness but not spicy; are there not hops in this? Alcohol is hidden wonderfully, but it’s unclear what it’s hidden behind as the stuff is rather simple and almost bland.

3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
33 cl. Clear copper-orange with a lasting film of creamy foam. Nose of corn, grass and molasses. Flavor is caramel, grain, hay, peppery wood and cherry liqueur. Near-medium body is smooth, alcohol-dried and chest-warming. Give this one a chance; it gets better the further you delve.

UPDATED: FEB 29, 2004 fresh: oops i dropped a sugardaddy candy in my dog's food..oh wait, nevermind, that was the aroma of this beer...what do you get when you take a farm's load of barley malt, absolutely no hops, too much sugar, and some yeast??...this horrifically strong tasting brew!... I heard that suicide bombers in Afghanistan drink this right before they die so to take their minds off of the pain of dying...sorta like biting your lip when you stub your toe...substituting one pain for another...so if you ever stub your toe or plan on bombing a discotech or subway train..this beers for you (1.8) 1992 version, drank 2004: Wow, what a frickin' improvement..this was like a chocolate malt shake...similiar to an aged samiclaus. (4.0)
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
33cl Bottle. Quiet salted apple flesh aroma. Malty and plain. A bit of oat bread. Yeast tang. Kind of bland. Pours a crystal clear henna with a fading bubbles in savanna. Flavor is dominated by sweet french toast, reduced lemon sugars and alcohol. A bit tart. Brandy-like fruits and raisins. The spritzy carbonation keeps this one lively and palatable, otherwise it might be unbearably sweet. Light age fatigue. Really, the malt character isn’t that deep and the alcohol pervasive. A coarse, grainy hop smack shows up the back flow. Clean and refined tasting, but I just want more from my eisbock in terms of nuance, characterful flavor. I would have expected more depth in alcohol as well, for a beer frozen out. Always interesting to try an eisbock. Thanks Sean!
