Kuhnhenn Raspberry Eisbock

At cbc, small sample. Old note. The aroma has raspberry, jam, sugar. Bit hazy, reddish coloured beer with an off-white head. The taste is sweet, massive fruity, bit alcoholic. Very full. Nice.

Vintage ’12. Thanks to Matt for this awesome brew! Partagée en compagnie de Marc-André. Robe pourpre tel un vin que le temps a oublié au fond d’une cave. Une mousse à la framboise sur laquelle on a versé un coulis au chocolat. Du pépin de framboises presque acidulé et suret accompagné d’un corps riche et trapu. Beaucoup d’alcool en s’entend malgré laquelle le tout se boit dangereusement bien, tant qu’on ne cherche pas à le boire comme une bière. Il faut appréhender le verre à la manière d’un digestif. On ne boit que très rarement des breuvages qui se rapprochent de ceci.

18/IV/17 - 12.7 Fl. Oz. bottle @ American BBQ Guy Tasting (ElManana+1’s place) - BB: n/a, 2014 vintage (2017-469) Thanks to Elmana+1 for sharing the bottle!

Clear reddish to rusty brown beer, small irregular off-white to beige head, bit bubbled, unstable. Aroma: lots and lots of raspberry jam, sugary impression. MF: soft carbon, medium to full body. Taste: very sweet, alcohol, fruity touch, bit sugary, raspberry jam. Aftertaste: alcohol, raspberry, sugary, sweet, more alcohol, slightly acidic, bit sour.

Murky dark amber color with a bit of tan foam. Aroma has raspberries with brown sugar, caramel malt and toasted notes. Taste starts sweet and fruity with raspberry jam, sticky malt and sugar, slightly tart fruity finish. Medium, syrupy sticky body with low carbonation. The raspberry notes go very well with the sweet, malty flavors.

Bottle from Clint (starcross) -- thanks a ton, buddy! This is substantially harsher than I was expecting. The raspberry flavor and aroma is readily apparent, but it’s surprisingly medicinal, to the point of smelling and tasting artificial. The malt base is hot, giving off booze and intense caramel sweetness. I shared this with about 6 employees of a local brewery, and it was a struggle to finish it.

As one person in the group put it, "this tastes like a discontinued Yankee Candle that was ’NyQuil’ flavored."

Bardzo syropowe, trochę jak miód pitny/nalewka z malinami. Słodkie, kwaskowate, cudnie owocowe.

The foam just goes around the rim. Medium brown amber color. Very big sweet malty nose with burnt raisins, raspberries, brown sugar, brandy, Christmas cake. Very full body, tons of raspberries, chocolate, Christmas cake, very sticky malty mouth. Super low carbonation. Boozy but so delectable and rich. Lingering I had this last time in 2008 and it is just as good.

Pours mahogany, not much foam but well, that’s not what you look for in this beer. Aroma is full of raspberry jam, pure, fresh raspberry jam that I would like to take and just speed on a freshly baked and still warm bread and drink some cold milk next to it. Sweet and sticky, dense and warming. Taste is also full on raspberry, sweet, jammy, body is still somewhat dry. Alcohol comes out in the finish, some alcohol bitterness there. More raspberries in the finish. Game on, RB’s best Fruit Beer, I dig you!

Butelka, bottlesharing w Piwotece. Wow, co się tu dzieje! Full malin, syrop malinowy, miód. Smak bardzo słodki, stropowy, malinowy ale bardzo przyjemne. Gęste, gładkie, alkohol świetnie ukryty. Znakomite piwo, ciekawe podejście do tematu.

2016 bottle from brewery... Hazy reddish purple in color... Aroma is raspberry lozenges, fruit candy, some cough syrup, caramel... Flavor is chocolate covered raspberries, caramel, fruit candy, lots of chocolate on finish... light alcohol burn on palate... really nice ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
