3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
12oz bottle pours amber with a short beige head that was rather short lived. Aromas of alcohol, honey, and some caramel with a kiss of molasses. Flavor is caramel, molasses, alcohol, honey, and some grape skins. Full bodied with a sticky sweet palate and some alcohol heat at the finish.

I poured this right down the middle of the glass and it produced an average size head that was creamy and of average duration for the style. The body was a brilliantly clear deep golden beer. The aroma was complex. Toasted malts, caramel and alcohol. Sweet, almost cloying if it weren’t for the alcoholic bite. Bock’s answer to Barleywine!

so here we are. the old ’malt bomb.’ thats what they used to call this beer at the moan and dove. maybe thay still do. I had do drink it then when I was doing my ’list.’ and I remember it being much more powerful than this that I am sipping on tonight. Pours a golden amber with a thin white head. Nose of apple juice, cotton candy, ground black pepper and alcohol. Flavor is sweet and malty, as would be expected, but not as "in yo face mo fo" as I expected. Just kind blah, which is rare for an eisbock. Lightly syruppy mouthfeel.

Bottle. Very noticeable alcohol. Quite rich and sweet . Raisins and woody syrup flavours which somehow manage not to be overly sweet if sipped slowly.

Dark Amber Coloring. No Head. Tastes Like a Barley Wine. Alcohol is Very Evident. One Was Enough.

This poured a very clear and attractive deep amber-brown color with fat and foamy white head that left moderate lacing rings in the glass. Nose was of malts, caramel, fruits, and mild hops. Mouthfeel was very riich and flavors mostly malts and fruit. The alcohol was hiden nicely, and the finish was mediium to long. Great beer. Not sure how I missed this on up to now.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Barley malt rum aroma and taste, hints of marcipan. Red light amber. Strong alcohol taste. It’s more like a barley wine.
