Draft at Kuhnhenn’s. Pours a deep dark purple with a small quickly disappearing tan head (no lacing). Aroma is filled with black currant, grapes, alcohol, and other fruits. Flavor is huge filled with the taste of black currant and grapes mainly but just a hint of the alcohol. Mouthfeel is dry almost wine like with a warming feel in the belly as it goes down. An excellent sipping beer, recommended to all that have the chance to experience it.

Aug 5, 2008 at RBSG, I remember this one being sweet and chocolate to go with the fruit influences. Not much else.....

Jul 28, 2008 Thanks to MikeTD for hooking this up. Cracking open the bottle fills the room with a wonderful sweet berry aroma. The aroma in the glass is more chocolate and tangy berry, very nice. The aroma just keeps you there, taking your time sipping. Very dominant chocolate taste that is complimented by the berry. This is a delicious desert beer and just a hair behind its cousin raspberry eisbock. Absolutely wonderful.

Jul 15, 2008 In short: Some kind of extra-sweet and extra-alcoholised fruit beer concentrate. Gross.
How: Tap at brewpub
The look: Murky brow body topped by a large tan head
In long: What an odd beer this is, and I use the word beer in a very loose way. Flavours were an overload of cassis, an extreme sugary sweetness, some sort of chemical/mercurochrome flavour, a light milk-chocolate tastes, cough syrup, strong alcohol presence, extra-sweet jam and fruit flavours more reminiscent of fruits concentrate than fresh fruits. Overall this felt like short of cheap hard-liquor in a glass of cheap extra-sweet fruit beer. That beer is tenacious indeed, my cousin Louis can be tenacious too with girls, and they’re both gross.

Jul 11, 2008 on tap at hop devil in manhattan. it was happy hour - so we got this half price at the same time as Kuhnhenn Rasberry Eisbock... which was a lot to take all at once. pours deep brown with thin tan head. aroma of cherry, perfume and light caramel. strong fruity sweetness undercut with sour tartness. prune also. only a little of the alcohol shows. long slightly dry bitter finish. contrary to popular opinion, I actually liked this a bit better than the raspberry eisbock. wacky stuff. just too sweet for me overall.
