Nov 8, 2009 2005 330ml bottle (2005/09076). Pours very nearly flat, with only a tiny ring of foam along the edges, even after a vigorous pour. A very clean but dark brown color. Aroma is sweet, a bit boozy, with maybe a little clove. On the palate, there’s a little small bit of fizziness, definitely not fully carbonated, though. Fairly thick, could use some carbonation to lighten things up. Flavor’s definitely boozy, with raisins, plums, other fruits beneath. Can’t really find any of the banana/clove esters you’d expect from a weizenbock - I’m sure the age has something to do with that. Definitely a malt bomb by this point, which should be expected after freeze-distilling and 4 years. Probably better fresh or with 1-2 years on it. Also carbonation would be nice. Still, though, nice to try.

Nov 6, 2009 330 ml bottle (32188/2009). Hazy reddish brown in colour with abundant tan head. Aroma has banana and sugary, caramel-like sweetnes in it. The flavour also includes some banana as well as some raisin-like component. Alcohol can be easily noticed, too. Above-medium carbonation.

Nov 5, 2009 Bottle as part of a tasting at Catskeller. Pours hazy brown with a big tan head. Aroma of banana, caramel, clove, and sweet malts. Flavor is more of the same, well balanced, along with some berry and dried fruits, bread, and alcohol. The alcohol seemed lighter than 12%. Medium bodied, with a grainy mouthfeel. Very good eisbock, which normally isn’t one of my favorite styles.

Nov 4, 2009 Poured into Snifter. Surprisingly little head despite central pour. Dark fruity taste builds quite a full bodied beer. Was a little more carbonated than i was expecting, but it turned out that it countered the high alcohol percentage nicely. Enjoyable for sure. Definitely recommend

Oct 28, 2009 Bottle. Dark brown with a stable head. Complex, winous, fruity aroma. Flavours start sweet and fruity, good sour cherries provide balance. Full-bodied, but a bit sharp on the tongue. An usuallually exciting German.

Oct 28, 2009 This is a very interesting beer. Poured into a snifter. Dark hazy brown body with a small beige head after an aggressive pour. No lacing. Smell is very much a weizen smell but more complex with the extra notes of dark fruits and high alcohol. Taste was very much a balance between the wheat bread and raisins with a creamy mouthfeel. A little on the higher carbonation which I don’t like but that’s the only negative thing I have to say about the taste. Now that it starts to warm up it gets even better. Also got some clove and brown sugar. There’s a decent bitterness to the end which balances the maltiness. Good beer and I will go get this again to share with others.

Oct 26, 2009 Pours a two-fingered light tan head that fades quickly to a ring leaving traces of lace. Cloudy brown/amber color, ton of yeast left in bottle. Good carbonation and medium bodied. Malty dark fruit nose. Flavor is sweet raisins and alcohol, a very unusual eisbock. $5.10 for a 330ml bottle from Colonial Spirits Acton, Ma.
