Dark red color with no head. Aroma of sweet malt and soy sauce. The taste is much the same: soy, salt, malt, with a bit of bacon at the end. If you’re not a fan of the semi-sweet and salt mix, bail on this one!

Aug 1, 2008 Bottled. POurs a clear dark brown with garnet highlights and a small fizzy off white head. The aroma, behind dark fruits and caramel malt exhibited quite a bit of sweetness. There is also alcohol and cookie dough present in the nose. The flavor mimcs the nose almost exactly: dark fruits, caramel malt, dough, and more alcohol than the nose indicated. There is also the addition of some hoppiness in the finish. Body is on the strong side of medium. Has a little viscous feel. This turned out to be a sweet surprise for a random single I picked up.

Jul 27, 2008 Bottle, maybe 2 years old. The cola brown body is tinted with a crimson hue and crowned by a small, frothy, off-white head. Minimal, spotty lacing. The aroma is very sweet and dessert-like, with notes of candy sugar, caramel, and dried figs and cherries. Some doughy yeast lends a softness, while lightly spicy, floral hops lend just a touch of bitterness. Flavors are again quite sweet and sugary up front, the candy sugar and dark, concentrated fruits serving their purpose. The earthy, peppery, floral hops come through in the end, combined with some alcoholic heat, to lend just the right amount of balancing edge. Medium-full bodied, moderately carbonated, and slightly syrupy, the body is textbook eisbock. Really, so is the whole package. Very good beer.

Jul 22, 2008 Pours brown with a ruby red hue and a thin sparse ring of off white bubbles. Smells boozy with some sweetness underneath. Tastes of dark fruit, some cherries, sugar, some bananas, lots of spice. Very enjoyable.

Aroma of fresh pressed cider, figs, rich malt, dried fruit, & cherries. flavor is big malt and lots of heat. Tastes of dried fruit, cherries, chewy wort. Big alcohol and a perfect bitterness. Heavy bodied, chewy texture. Rich, full, and nicely balanced. This is an excellent dunkel and a textbook eisbock.

Mar 5, 2008 Had this one two years ago from limited edition 2 l bottle.
Sweet alcoholic malt and roasted coffee aroma with notes of caramel, nuts and chocolate. Bitterish and pleasant warming alcoholic finish.
