Aroma of malt, caramel, raisins, vanilla, wood, candy sugar, hint of fruit. Flavour is sweet with a light bittersweet finish. Quite woody and noticeably different from the base beer.

Flesje thuis gedronken. Diep donkerbruin bier met stevig beige schuim. Aroma van gedroogd donker fruit en chocolade. Smaak van pruimen , zwarte kersen, caramel. Weinig nasmaak. Ik had er iets meer van verwacht.

Bottle. dark amber color. Soft woody aroma. Malty sweet flavor, oaky with dried fruit and sweets.Nice, but needs more time to develop.

375ml bottle. Clear, chestnut colour with ruby glimmer and average to huge, thick, creamy, more than fairly lasting and lacing, beige head. Sweet-ish, dark malty aroma, notes of treacle, caramel, some toffee, a nuttily touch, fruity hints of red berries, weak woody overtones. Taste is minimally sweet, nutty dark malty and slightly dry woody, hints of Brazil nut, a touch of eucalyptus; well hidden alcohol. Very drinkable for its high abv.

Dark brown colour with thin head. Aroma and flavour are a little woody. There's a lot of vanilla sweetness. Also lighter elements of liquorice and dark chocolate. Quite a rich, oily texture.

The 'wooden' version of SNAB IJsbok, thanks craftmember for sharing! Medium thick, pale greyish white, moussy, more or less stable head over a misty ruddy bronze coloured beer with warm coppery hue. Aroma of hard butterscotch candy, dried out brown bread, peach, acorn shells, dried plum, peanut, baked banana, wet dog, straw, dry earth and a hint of old oak wood including the vanilla, but very subtly so. Lightly fruity onset, apple peel, dried banana slices, hint of dried apricot, restrained in sweetness, medium carbonated; supple, medium thick body, a tad resinous. Nutty and caramelly malt sweetish core, adding a toasty bitterish accent towards the end, working well with spicy phenolic aspects (cloves, vague liquorice) and a herbal hop bitterishness; the wood accent is there, but as in the nose, remains subtle, with a dash of drying tannins, followed by an afterglow of warming, rum-like alcohol. Decent enough as such, like the regular version, but at the same time not significantly elevated above its own regular version either: the label says "American oak" so I assume dry oak wood was used rather than a barrel that had previously contained a non-beery drink as has become the habit in 21st-century craft brewing. Still an aging process on such 'dry' oak barrels can add depth and even greatness - which is lacking here, due to the oaky contribution remaining too subtle, for my personal liking at least. I have no doubt that instead of extended barrel aging, we are talking about the simple addition of wood chips here, which in itself is fine, but a bit too volatile for me. Which makes it all the more difficult to comprehend how this ended up in the top-50 of Eisbocks on this site... Still, a decent beer nonetheless.
