Bottle. Pours a clear deep amber with an average creamy off-white head that lasted. Heavy caramel and fruit aroma with a small alcohol tone. Medium body with soft carbonation. Well balanced bitter sweet flavor with a light alcohol bite and long finish. Very drinkable brew.

Bottle Peg Leg Pub St Maarten. Pours out a deep brown color with a slight frothy head. Aroma is sweet and malty. The taste is pretty much all malts, with some notes of alcohol, and sugar with a few notes of alcohol, but not as much as would be expected.

Slightly dark colour, malt aroma. Bit of crowning white head. Little bitterness.I found this more malty drinkable than the Austrian eisbocks, although still an egg yolk taste in it. Surprisingly high alcohol content that was well hidden.Thanks Biegaman.

Aroma is rather un inspiring. Yeah, its big and maly. I get a lot of alcohol too. Appearance is fine. Poured amber/orange with a completly disapating head. Maybe a dark cherry with some toastyness. Bitterness comes out good. Kind of slick across the tounge. Alcohol makes it pretty thin.
I would have expected more from a beer with MJ’s recomendation right on the bottle.

(draft) Had a strange flavor that I’ve never been able to accurately describe in this type of beer. Very thick, almost syrupy flavor. The alcohol was quite evident.

Pours a deep reddish amber with a fully receding tan head. Aroma of rich caramel, toffee, vinous malt, plums, and alcohol. Taste is sweet and sticky with a tinge of spicy alcohol on the nose. Notes of toffee, earthy malts, wood, and phenols. Mouthfeel is heavy with lively carbonation. Good, but not as enjoyable as the Aventinus Eisbock. A bit too sweet and one-dimensional.

Clear orange in color with minimal white head. Sweet caramelized aroma with fruits, apricots, burnt sugar, and a touch of alcohol. Thick body. This is almost a delicious beer. Carmalized malts, sugar, apricots, and alcohol. The alcohol is too intense, burning like a shot of vodka. The finish is mostly sweet alcohol. I was initially intrigued and excited by the flavor untill the alcohol kicked in. I generally enjoy big, intense beers. But I would have liked a more mellow, well blended beer. Still, on a cold winters night this would be a fine beer to have.
