Kuhnhenn Raspberry Eisbock

[At RBSG 2005] A muddy brown beer with a small disappearing off-white head. The aroma is very spicy and with strong notes of raspberries, but also with lesser notes of oranges and caramel. The flavor is pretty much like the aroma with a strong accentuation of the raspberries and the spices, that I can’t pick apart. Lovely. Thanks Mike (eyedrinkale)

(Bottle 18,7 cl) Pours a clear, dark amber with a tiny, beige head. Fantastic and complex nose of chocolate, toffee and some sherry-like accents. Extremely full body with some distinct, warming alcohol. The raspberries add a pleasant - yet discreet - fruitiness throughout, but the chocolate clearly dominates. Somewhat sugary finish. Extremely complex and a very unique experience. Thanks to madsberg for sharing. 120206

Bottled (2004 vintage). Clear nut brown. Aroma of cocoa and raspberries. Sweet and liqueur-like with some pleasant acidity coming from the raspberries. Full malty body with some warming alcohol. Lingering bitter cocoa in the finish. Very special. I absolutely love the idea, but I get creepy annotations of Floris Chocolat when drinking it.

18.5 cL bottle, trade with ygtbsm94. Pours clear and golden dark orange to amber with a quickly gone tan head. Dark malty and mild raspberry aroma. Flavour is mild caramel malty with a delicate and dry raspberry flavour on top. Shows a dry and almost woody raspberry flavour before the finish. Dry almost woody finish. Sugarish finish with a light raspberry note. Complex brew yet I don’t see this a top 50 beer.

Red-tinged dark brown. Aroma of raspberry, toffee, chocolate and a little alcohol. Thick, silky, with all good things dark malt showing up – toffee and liquorice. Quite rich, like the best Belgian dark chocolate. This is cut by sweet & sour raspberry notes. This is very drinkable. I’d love to taste the eisbock straight-up sometime.
