Kuhnhenn Raspberry Eisbock

Brewed by Kuhnhenn Brewing
Style: Fruit Beer
Warren, Michigan USA

well I wanted to like this beer...but it was a sticky beer in mouthfeel and sweetness level....but the finish was kinda like cough syrup but the begining of the flavor was nice and chocolaty and caramelly.......

Rating #200. 2007 (little) bottle thanks to Skip from BA site. Pours a copper color with reddish tint. No head. nose is of chocolate, berries and alcohol. Taste is a mix of chocolate and raspberries. Comes across more winelike than beer. Mouthfeel was medium with alcohol warmth at the finish. Very nice dessert sipping brew.

Rating #300...what a journey!!! Bottle acquired via trade with polomagnifico...Thanks again Ryan!!! The aroma is, without doubt, this beers most redeeming quality. Rich Hershey milk chocolate, gooey caramel, and freshly picked raspberries are evident. The aromatics are so intense and enjoyable, I’d happily wear it as cologne!!! Flavor is extremely complex, incorporating all of the above with additional molasses, toffee, and oak. Unfortunately, this one seemed a bit too young. The alcohol was distracting and overwhelmed the brew. Syrupy mouthfeel...as stated in the description, would make a great "after dinner treat".

Wow! This is pretty awesome. Aroma is strong of raspberry and chocolate. Flavor is the same with a woody note also. Alcohol at the finish. Pretty amazing. Actually worth the $13 for the bottle.

Smells like chocolate raspberry. Taste of the same. Dark appearance and dark head. Drank the 2007 from a bottle. I like blushing monk better though.

Thanks Mr Stitch for getting me this. Every sip is like heaven. Aroma was perfect. The most chocolate in an aroma I’ve ever experienced (along with a solid raspberry backbone). Pour was a nice deep dark brown with no head. Taste was perfect. Strong chocolate and raspberry taste throughout. Very strong and full taste with a nice tart raspberry aftertaste. This is amazing.

2004 bottle. Rating #1200 - thanks to everyone who traded me this! Wonderful plum coloring with a very small head. Aroma is a thick mix of berries and barleywine - molasses, raspberries, currants, maple, wood, and spice. Flavor has a very unique raspberry-wood-brown sugar mix that is incredibly interesting and highly drinkable. Smooth and thick - incredible mouthfeel. Great to try - its no wonder this bad boy is top 50.

6.3 oz bottle purchased from Champane’s Wine. Pours dark ruby red with small head that dissipates fully. Aroma is incredible, very rich nose of raspberry, chocolate, caramel, plums, and someone mentioned in another review German chocolate cake, which is a good description. Taste of raspberry and caramel, with a finish of alcohol burn. Thick and creamy mouthfeel. Clearly a quality brew, very rich, definitely a sipper. Bit too much for me, though. Update: Had on tap at the brewery a couple of times now, and wow, it’s sooo much better on draft. The aroma and taste are amazing. I’m bumping my scores a bit.
