3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Light amber with a thin white head. Aroma of sweet malt and dried fruit, maybe a hint of almond. Taste is full of alcohol and sugary fruit, rich and sweet. Potent and very, very tasty.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
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.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Pours a clear caramel amber with no head. Aroma is super alcoholic, very sweet. Flavor isn’t as alcoholic as the aroma made me guess; there is little carbonation, and it’s mostly caramel sweetness that takes over. Rather one-dimensional.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
This is basically an after dinner liquor. It’s not a beer you would ever want to buy a 6 pack of, unless you were having a dinner party, I bet this beer be tasty over vanilla ice- cream. This beer has a heavy, rich, molasses like palate. This Eisbok has a sweet dramatic honey, caramel, and alcohol flavor and nose. A very enjoyable beer if you are ready for a strikingly heavy and sweet beer.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
thanks to Saarlander for the bott;e. copper in color with a tan head which faded very fast, no lace. rich sweet malt nose. flavor reminds me of an apple brandy. a good beer for a cold winters night.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Glassy brandy color with no consistent head. Aroma contains notes of grape, gum, and the standard flowery side. Well difined palate as it is crisp at first but follows through with an oily feel with the alcohol. Flavor isn’t much to write home about, but it does make for an enjoyable beer (but that might just be the 11% talking.)
3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle. Pours very slightly hazy ambery gold, thin off-white head. Nose is sweet and some plummy tones, stale wet wood, some glace cherries. Mouth is some plummy tones with a spirit burn as you swallow. Sweet and coating on the way down. Strength present. Alright, could be a lot better.
2.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 10/20
In agreeing with many of the other tasters, I’d say that this beer is too overpowering. Extremely warming and unfinishable.
