4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20pours an average , frothy, light brown head that fully diminished. Body is flat black, sparkles are visible. Aroma contains hay, roasted and toasted malts, molasses, pine, lemon, banana, raisin, plum, cherry, a hint of smoke, charcoal licorice, alcohol and spices. Flavor starts off light acidic, to go to sweet and light bitter. Thisbear is heavy on the malts and medium hoppy. Body is full with syrupy texture and soft carbonation. My first ever Eisbock, I like the style . I hope they’re all like this.

UPDATED: JUN 16, 2013 This is a heavy beer. It has a sweet, raisins/fig/date smell. Very thick, with a hunt of belgian spice. Excellent balance for the high sugar and alcohol.

Color caoba con espuma beige. Aromas dulces, pasas y frutos rojos. En boca comienza con un dulzor tostado que rápidamente pasa a un sabor agrio y afrutado intenso y equilibrado con un toque alcohólico.

2010 Vintage bottle # 009165
A - Pours a hazed russet brown with a fleeting cream colored head.
S - Caramelized cherry caramel aroma, plums, molasses, leather, cinnamon, allspice, prunes, very complex aroma of malts.
T - Sweet carmalized brown sugar, molasses just blankets the palate. Cherries, plums, red Bartlet pears, caramelized plantains, hints of cinnamon and all spice, some minor bitterness on the edges,
M - Chewy but smooth feel, light side of full bodied, low but spritzy carbonation.
I haven’t had one fresh but this 2 year old is tasting mighty fine. Awesome yeast works with multiple layers of malt. Very complex flavors. One to be sipped and pondered on for sure.

Smaksprøve på Tap1 mai-13: hvis man liker søtt, sterkt hveteøl av typen bokkøl er dette et must. Et klasseøl fra Schneider, selv om alkoholen kan bli litt for fremtredende.

11.2 oz bottle. Pours a very deep brown with enormous fizzy tan head. Aroma is sweet and mostly caramel malt with some fruity notes and grain. Sweet flavor with some wheat and perhaps plum as well. Full creamy mouthfeel with some warming from alcohol content in the finish. My first eisbock and a very good one.

Banana and herbs in aroma. Nice dark amber color. Taste is very well balanced so high alcohol content is only noticed by warm feeling in aftertaste.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pours a nice brown amber beer with a good white head. Smells odd. Herbs. Wow. Ok. Taste is odd too. Palate is perfect.
