4.6 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 19/20
Bottle. Pours a beautiful dark copper with thick off white head. The nose is sweet caramel, toasty malts and a bit of spicy alcohol. Palate is thick and silky. Flavor is sweet cinnamon, vanilla, nutty malts, and a little alcoholy whiskey spice on the finish. Loved it.
4.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Pours a one finger khaki head that fades quickly to a thin layer leaving a good lace. Nice crystal clear copper/red color. Medium carbonation and medium-heavy bodied. Nose is light caramel, flavor is a malty caramel. The high ABV is hidden, but is warming. Nice industrial strength (11% ABV) Eisbock. Worth trying at $8.40 for a 22oz frosted brown bottle from Tully’s Beer & Wine Wells, ME.
4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 18/20
A sweet malty aroma. This is pretty tasty. Quite a bit of sweetness, some hops near the end. Just a bit chalky though. Tasty stuff.
4.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
A very well balanced eisbock. Plenty of rich caramel flavours with a well balanced alcohol. Great eisbock!

4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Aroma: Strawberries, fresh, sweet, some spices.
Taste: Alcohol is masked brilliantly. Medium-bodied, slight sweetness. Long aftertaste. Complexity in flavor.
Overall: An excellent bock. Strong but refreshing, fruity and complex.
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
Pours very red copper with off-white fluffy head. Smells extremely malty, bread-like. Tastes like caramel and alcohol, not much hop flavor present. Full-bodied with a creamy, smooth texture and mild mouth-carbonation, Redhook Eisbock 28 Limited Release finishes sweet and smooth, though not the easiest thing to drink.

delicious, the palate is thick with flavor of caramel, nuts, maple syrup. hops are slightly piny but has an astringent flavor at the end. a great beer all the way/

Bottle.
Pours cohesive and light mahogany with auburn highlights and a thick, off-white head. Aroma is buttered sugar toast with a light sprtizing (shut it) of bready syrup and sweetened leaves. Delicate touch of butterscotch as well. Flavor is raisin sugar bread and cherry malt, with syrupy biscuit and prune in a light schnapps sauce. Alcohol is very warming, especially in the belly. Thick and lingering on the tongue, like light molasses. This beer, at 11 % ABV, could be excessive and obnoxious but it is rather pleasant with just enough aggressiveness to make it interesting.

bottle from a local bottle shop. pours a vibrant dark red with a slowly growing head. sweet nose despite the Eisbock, with a little bit of spice, and pepper... as this warms it actually takes on a bit of cherry on the nose. Upping my score on the nose...
Nice thick body, a bit oily with a bitter finish. the alcohol is actually hidden pretty well, I was expecting it to be very noticeable. Other than that, the flavor seems a bit subdued, despite the "concentration" . Nice malt backbone...
I am shocked that I am one of the first to review this beer... my area of texas is usually the LAST to get anything. so I am proud to be one of the first!!
As an Eisbock, this is one of the better ones I have had, so I am reviewing to style here. Not too bad for an "illegal" US style. (according to US law, technically this is considered distillation, so it is a liquor, not a beer) Hope Red Hook doesnt get in trouble with this.
