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 !

Imported from my RateBeer account as Totem Etznab (by Totem):
Aroma: 7/10, Appearance: 3/5, Taste: 8/10, Palate: 3/5, Overall: 15/20, MyTotalScore: 3.6/5
15/XI/15 - on tap @ Flemish Food Bash - BB: n/a (2015-1571) Thanks to Klaas for my prima nocta sample!
Clear dark brown beer, small to no head, brownish, little stable, non adhesive. Aroma: sweet, some caramel, roasted, toast. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: sourish start, nice roast, sweet notes, malty, some caramel, touch of coffee. Aftertaste: roasted, pretty bitter, coffee, dark chocolate, caramel, some cocoa powder, hoppy notes. Not as much "dulce de leche" as in the home brew version, but a solid beer for sure. Will try the bottled version as well when it comes out, probably appearance and aroma will increase in score, maybe other things as well.

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.

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
