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

Papsoes mystery blindtasting beer #7. Handbottled. Pours dark brown with a diminished tan head. Butterish and malt aroma. Light acidic and butterish notes following this. Flavour is light acidic and roasted malt touch swept in sweetish off-flavours. Ends light acidic. Strange.

Tap at the HDG poured into a goblet glass. Color is black with a fluffy tan head, can’t see through the beer. Aroma is very present, an uncanny sweetness, seems to come from the wheat. A cereal/grainy aroma is present as well. Taste is similarly sweet with that weird wheatness sweetness. After that the taste is pretty clean. Low bitterness, medium carbonation, and a slightly raison sweet aftertaste. Not as special as I expected it to be.

2004 version, hand bottled by Maibockaddict, thanks again Dave!
Deep orange-amber color with some dark mahogany browns and light crimson tints. Hazy, unpasteurised and bottle conditioned. Aroma is quite reminiscent of the Winter Wheat, but has a more pronounced tobacco and charred-wood aroma to it. Some dry toffee, a touch of alcohol and bitter, dark chocolate. Roasty, nutty, coffee-like notes as well. Flavor builds off of the non-iced version, but takes the chocolate, tobacco and roast up a notch. There’s more to sink your teeth in to on this one, with some dry, oily fruit flavors (grapeskin, currants, apples, some banana) on the finish. Thick woodsmoke on the palate throughout, with a light saltiness and a bit of alcohol. Nothing like what I expected, and like no other eisbock I’ve tried, not even the Schneider Aventinus weizen-eis. Overflowing with quality and care of brewing.

Deep dark lager with a wonderful nose of raisins, brown suar, bananas, very aromatic. Rich bananas and cloves with roasted mlats in attack and fruits in finish. Oily mouthfeel. Very nice body, very full.
