(Bottle 33 cl) Dark brown beer with a light brown head. Very "dark", roasted flavours. Very, very delicious roasted malts that completely dominte the body. Pronounced sweetness and pretty much without bitterness. Notes of roasted coffee-beans - roasted, not burnt. Chewy and very delicate. 270705

Bottle. Sweet, thick, syrupy aroma, malt extract? Chestnut colour, unstable head. Malt extract twang, sourish sweetness. But very nice. Dusty flavour. Very syrupy mouthfeel. Tastes quite good, but the syrupiness puts me off a bit. Carries the ABV quite well. Thanks to rickgordon.

Draught at Glenfiddich Warehouse No.68, Stockholm. Hazily ruby with compact, very rich orange-beige head. Full blown aroma with esters and higher alcohol, exotic fruits like pineapple and kiwi are prominent. Vinous with balanced malt sweetness. Very malty, but does not feel heavy. The flavour is complex - estery fruits interplay with soft malt and grassy hops, all enhanced my the alcohol, which doesn’t shine through. There’s more rye bread than bitterness in the finish. This is an extremely well balanced eisbock, and also very complex. One of the better beers I’ve had! (10/5/9/5/18 = 4.7) Unfortunately the bottled beer was not as good, and has not really held up the way I’d expected an Eisbock to do. The score is thus lowered.
