aspidites (1268), manteca, California, USA Mar 11, 2005 sweet malt and fruit nose. with some hop presence, weird for style. warming brndy and madeira notes almost portlike at the finish. Eyedrinkale (3091), Beer Town, New York, USA Jul 25, 2004 Murky brown color with smallish head. Aroma of light roasted malt and mellow hops but thats all thats mellow about this magic elixar. Why would they possibly discontinue something this good? Tastes of over ripe oranges, brown sugar and espresso round it out. Magic on the lips. cb (810), Wheat Ridge, Colorado, USA May 29, 2003 Brown sugar gone wild. Very sticky palate. Clingy, long-lasting head. Citrus/caramel notes. MrDick (265), San Francisco, California, USA Sep 7, 2002 Dark pour with decent head (on tap). Cocoa molasses with a little sour grapefruit. Good flavor. Refined taste for amount of complex flavors. mwsf (359), San Francisco, California, USA Aug 17, 2002 Mahogany color. Impressive head for this much alcohol. Some apricot aroma and flavor. Stong caramel flavor. Slightly sweet. Brown sugar? Full body. Quite bitter. A friend I was with saw 1.070 and 12.5% ABV on the label and thought there had to be a typo. I didn’t realize this was an Eisbock when I drank it. It all makes sense now...
