Thnx to Dennis. Pours black, no real head. Smell is intense , roasty, some coffee. Taste is very roasty, grainy. Very mild peppery notes. No booze at all. Very thick on the mouth thought !

Black with thin head. Aroma is boozy and a bit woody. There’s more spice in the eisbock version compared to the regular one. Surprisingly drinkable for such a strong one.

Sample. Thanks Klaas! Black beer, very small head. Almost no carbonation. Roasted malts, vanilla and some chili. Alcoholic but drinkable. Nice Eisbock!

Weich malziger Antrunk mit alkoholischer Tendenz. Espresso, die Würzigkeit bleibt eher gering. Zum Ende brennt der sonst gut verborgene Alkohol, rund, fast etwas langweilig. Etwas Chili. 13/10/8/8/8

Sample draft @ 6de Gents Bierfestival 2015. Brune foncée laissant un impressionnant filament huileux et doré au verre. Le col est minimaliste, quasi plat mais tirant sur un ton moka. Arôme offre un profil épicé que je trouve en léger retrait, mais parvenant tout de même à percer. Ce dernier n’est point diminué par les effluves alcoolisées qui se dégagent. Le malté est toujours là avec un petit côté umami presque de soja. Palais met de suite la donne avec un 20% qui parait plus, pas mal de malts, notamment chocolaté et cette bonne impression que le côté épicé a pris bcp plus d’important même en comparant avec la version de base. Je retrouve encore cette petite note de soja qui persiste en fin de bouche, le tout gardant un petit fini sec boisé.

Occasional beer made for GBF, the regular Zipacna which has undergone the ’Eisbock’ treatment resulting in an ABV between 20 and 30%, according to Klaas (the brewer). Even at this huge alcohol strength, it bears a creamy, light beige, thin head which all but disappears after a while; colour is as good as black. Strong aroma, as expected and as usual for this type of ’beers’, much cocoa, raisins soaked in brown rhum, caramel candy, kalhua, whiffs of chili, coffee and sherry; sweet candied fruit in the mouth, thick and oily mouthfeel like a Pedro Ximénez sherry or something of that kind, chocolatey and coffeeish flavours, ending in a peppery finish which shows both the chili peppers from the basic beer and the expected booze; all things considered, the alcohol does stay remarkably mild though, at least as good or even better than in some other of these frozen ultra-strong beers I had before. Interesting experiment which has worked perfectly because of the qualities of the basic beer, sadly not intended for wider distribution.

(Thx! for sharing) Sampled draft @ Gents Bierfestival 2015. Probably closer to 30 % ABV than 20 % according to the brewer. Totally black, dark tanned head on the sides, surprising amount of head for the ABV. Nose is big on roast at first but also a lot of sweetness akin to coco puffs, cacao, chocolate, cereal sweet,… Thick. Taste is boozy thick chocolate syrup, sludge, warming in a good way if you take small sips, coco puffs, chocolate, basic coffee, chili is light in the back, oddly more present in this version, light cinnamon-like note mixing with the chili. Body is thick syrup, sludgy. Impressive, taste-wise a tad more impressive probably for me, I cannot imagine drinking much of this.
