3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Dark brown with a very thin beige head that sticks around. Heavy malt aroma of molasses. The first sip is overly sweet with a complex heavy mouthfeel. The initial sweetness seems to diminish after a few drinks. Excellent balance of malt and hops to bring out the maltiness. This beer is almost like a meal. Filling finish.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Very dark in appearance, white small head. Smells of strong malt and molasses, with maybe a hint of something metallic. Tastes is thankfully not as sweet as the aroma. Pretty good balanced taste, malty, but not overly. Dark fruit on finish. Good, mildly carbonated taste. Pretty good.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
There is a reason why this is the second to last style I needed to try. I tried to be as objective as possible, but the sweet malt bocks, doppelbocks, and eisbocks are just not my thing, I really dont know how anyone can have more than two of these. A deep brown to black pour with almost no head. SWEET caramel malts with a hint of roasted flavor and licorice. no hops whatsoever. I can tell that it is a well crafted beer, but not my thing at all.

Bottled. Party rate. Dark dark color with amost no head. Aroma has intense notes of caramel and dark fruits, with huge booze. Taste very closely mirrors the aroma. Very very complex beer, but the drawback is the booze...but you have to expect that with an eisbock.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Deep brown colour with small head. Aroma and flavour is dark fruits, roasted, quite sweet after taste.
2.3 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
This has a really sickeningly sweet smell to it that is really off-putting. It has a nice dark pour with minimal head. The taste is similar, though very muted, compared to its taste. Terrible first impression, but not too bad on the back end.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Small off-white head that’s diminishing fast. Dark brown, nearly black body. Aroma of coffee, roasted malt, alcohol, dried fruits and dry hops. The taste is medium to heavy sweet and light bitter. Full body, creamy and sticky texture, average carbonation. Long lasting finish. Nice beer and good quality.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Refrigerated 11.2 oz. bottle set on the table for a bit and poured into a snifter. Very dark brown with medium brown highlights with small beige head. Little lacing, thick body, low carbonation, and molasses aroma. Taste is molasses, some dark fruit (mostly dates), some alcohol, and some hop bitterness in the finish. A little too much alcohol, I prefer Schneider Aventinus Eisbock.
