Candy like flvor that is way too sweet and syrupy. No head when I poured it into a glass. chewy and creamy but overly tart and sweet. Not a drinkable beer but not terrible on a cold dark winter night when a glass of wine just won’t do.

Oct 9, 2008 Not much too this one. Always tough to tell if it was stored properly or not. Nice pour, but the head seemed a bit thin. Deep brown color. It was malty on the nose and the palate, but nothing spectacular. Liked it but wouldn’t fall all over myself to get another one.

Oct 2, 2008 To drunk to give an accurate review. This was my 12th beer at beerfest. This appears to be a beer of aquired taste, not my favorite.

Oct 1, 2008 12oz. Wow, talk about a "passionate" beer. This one pours pretty dark brown with a tan head. Aroma is probably the biggest let down of the brew, makes me think of dark dried fruit such as raisins or black currants. Body is much more sensational, some almond and hazelnut with loads of earth, wood, and some vanilla to boot. Very sweet, almost cloyingly so but that same sweetness brings a 60 second finish. Decent carbonation keeps this one pretty lively. An excellent beer, but I did have higher hopes.

Sep 30, 2008 12 oz bottle. My first Eisbock. Very dark brown body with red highlights. Aroma has charcoal smoke, cherries, and that deep dark maltiness I never can quite put my finger on. Alcohol as well in the aroma. Sweet flavor that starts with dark cherry/grape malt and finishes with some fruitcake-ish spice. Too heavy on the alcohol taste. nice to have tried this Eisbock.

Sep 26, 2008 This beer is beautiful in its appearance. It pours a dark red/brown/black, with a off-white head that fizzles after a minute or two. The aroma is beautiful also. The aroma is alcohol, malts, candy sugar, plums. This aroma is very enticing. The flavor is malty, alcohol, fruity. The finish starts sweet, then fades to a pleasing warming from the alcohol. This is my first eisbock, and I love it.
