(Bottled) Burgundy colour. Thick head. Fruity, fudgy, slightly roasted aroma. Medium bodied. Roasty flavour of liquorice, toffee and red currants. Sweet and warming. A very smooth and well-balanced Eisbock.

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.

A hazy orange beer with a small disappearing white head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of caramel and strawberries. The flavor is sweet malty too, but with notes of strawberries and butter.

Sampled cask conditioned at Oliver Twist, Stockholm.
Dark black with beige head. Rich aroma of dark chocolate and coffee. Medium dry and light bodied, but still firm and soft. Superbly balanced with a flowery bitter finish. Very fresh and sensationally good. I can only hope this is not a once of brew.
