Tremendous complexity with a long and intriguing finish. An awesome beer to warm you up during the cold wintery nights.

Draught @ Barcade Jersey City (Jan 2024). It was the 2022 edition. Opaque dark brown with a very small creamy dark beige head that dissipates very fast, very faint toasted malt aroma, low carbonation, initially sweet dark roasted malt/coffee taste that turns bitter soon, alcohol undertones, smooth body, long bitter finish with alcohol aftertaste. Smooth and potent.

Hand bottled with care by Dickinsonbeer. Almost black colored. Milk chocolate and some roast in the lactic aroma. Very malty sweet lactic flavor with roast, tobacco, cacao, molasses. Full bodied. Thick and velvety mouthfeel. First signs of an upcoming sourness. Some pleasant warming alcohol pushed away by the overwhelming sweet maltiness. Very pleasant beer, surviving the long journey although hand bottled. This is a sign of quality. Thanks Paul!

2016 version listed at 12.5% bit they told me first few kegs probably higher abv for some freezing reason. Anyways I wanted this brew for years and made it out to brewery on release day on coldest day in decades which seems quite appropriate. Ruby pour minimal head. Nose is dark fruit light malt and wheat. Tastes of plums, malt, light licorice, dried leaves, cherry, hint of brandy, and grapes. Smooth palate only hint of the huge abv. Drinking litre of this amd 3/4 through not feeling booze yet we will see in morning.

Sampled on draft at Zeno’s in State College PA this beer poured almost black with a medium sized beige head that faded quickly and left no lacing. The aroma was sweet raspberry jam, sugar and touches of cocoa, wood and tobacco. The flavor was sweet raspberry jam, sugar, wood, molasses and a hint of smoke. Long finish. Fairly full bodied. Nice.

From Ditmier; Nose of bananas, cloves, bubblegum, and faint dark chocolate. Clear dark brown with cherry highlights and a very small beige head. Flavor is overripe bananas, light sweetness, caramel, and light spiciness. Damn fine eisbock!

(Hand bottle 35,5 cl) Courtesy of BrianK. Hazy reddish brown with a beige head. Not so pleasant buttery aroma with a whiff of yeast. Quite full-bodied with notes of caramel and chocolate and a whiff of yeast. A little low in carbonation. Almost no bitterness. Would love to get a fresh sample of this one day. 270408

Bottled. A hazy brown beer with a red shine under a thin brown head. The aroma like the Danish candy "Labre Larver" caramel covered licorice - I like them - though not in my beer, but also with some notes or roasted malt and a subdued sweetness. The flavor is acidic with notes of roasted malt, and light notes of butter, leading to a dry finish. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.
