Bottle. Color: Orange brown, off-white head. Taste: Medium sweet, herbal, hints of caramel and wood. Dry mouthfeel. Nice balance between sweet and hopbitter notes. medium body, average carbonation. Pretty unique, ‘traditional’ taste. On the edge of being a Barley wine.

The 'wooden' version of SNAB IJsbok, thanks craftmember for sharing! Medium thick, pale greyish white, moussy, more or less stable head over a misty ruddy bronze coloured beer with warm coppery hue. Aroma of hard butterscotch candy, dried out brown bread, peach, acorn shells, dried plum, peanut, baked banana, wet dog, straw, dry earth and a hint of old oak wood including the vanilla, but very subtly so. Lightly fruity onset, apple peel, dried banana slices, hint of dried apricot, restrained in sweetness, medium carbonated; supple, medium thick body, a tad resinous. Nutty and caramelly malt sweetish core, adding a toasty bitterish accent towards the end, working well with spicy phenolic aspects (cloves, vague liquorice) and a herbal hop bitterishness; the wood accent is there, but as in the nose, remains subtle, with a dash of drying tannins, followed by an afterglow of warming, rum-like alcohol. Decent enough as such, like the regular version, but at the same time not significantly elevated above its own regular version either: the label says "American oak" so I assume dry oak wood was used rather than a barrel that had previously contained a non-beery drink as has become the habit in 21st-century craft brewing. Still an aging process on such 'dry' oak barrels can add depth and even greatness - which is lacking here, due to the oaky contribution remaining too subtle, for my personal liking at least. I have no doubt that instead of extended barrel aging, we are talking about the simple addition of wood chips here, which in itself is fine, but a bit too volatile for me. Which makes it all the more difficult to comprehend how this ended up in the top-50 of Eisbocks on this site... Still, a decent beer nonetheless.

Bottle @ home. Time to complete the series. Brown colour with a small beige head that turn a bit chunky. Smells sweet, malty, slightly speculaas/gingerbread. Tastes sweet, malts, also the cookie flavor. Tastes a bit like a abbey double you forgot you had and found it after a year or 3. There's also some alcohol and grape peel in there. Quite sweet, low carbo. Too sugary for me. Medium body, soft carbo.

Bottle (2017). Color: Dark ruby to chestnut brown, stable beige head. Taste: Medium sweet, roasted malt, little bit boozy. Hints of red fruit, licorice and raisins. Some bitterness but mainly malty. Hints of wood and dry mouthfeel at somewhat more bitter finish. Above medium body, average carbonation.

Dark blond colour with thin head. Aroma and flavour have strong honey notes. However it's not too sweet. Clean finish.
