Bottle. Seems more like a Blond Doppelbock than a Eisbock. Dark gold in color with a small head. Aroma was malty, sweet aroma. Taste was sweet upfront, bitter aftertaste. TNT.

Bottle, shared on the bus at RBSG 2010. Forgot about this. Amber orange with a low, lacy head. Estery, jammy nose, caramel, cherry, some spiciness. Hot and boozy, sweet, caramel, fruits, esters. Too young, too hot. Ok.

65 cl bottle @ ISKTR. Rated on 20.03.2011
Sweet and somewhat syrupy aroma with fruits and caramel. Flavour is somewhat sweet with lots of caramel and fruity notes. Sweet and sticky, just as I expected. The sweetness is not the most disturbing kind though.

Bomber, Fall 2010 vintage, from Wine Warehouse in Charlottesville. Pours a clear, viscous looking amber with not much of a head. Aroma of toasted malts, caramel, raisin and tinny hops. The taste is caramel, toasted malts, stone fruits, booze and a hoppy finish. Medium-full bodied, low carbonation and significant heat.

22oz bomber from Binny’s poured into a snifter. Bottled August 30, 2010. Pours a dark copper with about 2 fingers of white head. Aroma of fermented fruit. Lots of dark stuff, plums and figs. Booze and ether. A lot of caramel and a little vanilla. There is a lot going on here. Taste is medium sweet. Lots of booze. It’s got a light burn, but not in a good way. It’s in the way of when you get water up your nose it burns. Full bodied with a thick and sticky texture. Lively carbonation and an insanely long finish. I think I’m still going to be tasting the finish when I go to bed tonight. Overall, it’s pretty good. Very different from anything I’ve had. I definitely understand why this is a winter warmer. I think I can turn off the heat in my house while I’m drinking this.

Bottled on Aug 30, 2010 enjoyed on 10/4/2011 I found this bottle at a store I don’t normally frequent, and since I never tried it when it came out, I pulled the trigger. Pours a crystal clear deep copper color with a decent foamy beige head that shows moderate retention and leaves decent lace. I can smell the sugary sweet fruit as soon as I pop the top. Closer to my nose with the glass brings out some dark fruits like plums and cherries, some dark sugar and caramels and a surprising amount of ethanol for a beer that’s over a year old. This smells like a barleywine quite honestly. Taste is sweet and fruity up front. I get some sugars, but not what I expected from the aroma. Slightly earthy hop bite is present but obviously faded. Alcohol provides a bit of warming, but luckily is not as strong and the nose suggested. Medium body, sweet fruity almost sticky mouthfeel, light level of carbonation. Not having this fresh really skews my perspective because this doesn’t seem like a bock to me. This is a pretty good old ale or barleywine at this point, I enjoyed it

Bottle. Slightly hazy amber with small off-white head. Flavour is malt, caramel, fruit, hops, bitter and a little pine.
