The Eisbock version of Granitbock, which is a hybrid of Steinbier and Doppelbock if I understood correctly; bottle from Geers. Moussy, yellowish beige, regular head, opening in the middle but stable as a thin ring around the edge, over a hazy burgundy-hued bronze beer. Rich, malty aroma, desserty even, hinting at plums soaked in brandy, raisin bread, chocolate cake, Pumpernickel bread, fig compote, rum, Belgian chocolates, toffee, pear syrup, ginger, subtle hints of peppermint, tomato puree, toast. Sweet onset, fig and raisin, plum jam, banana bread, but not estery; light sourish touch, softish carbonation, very full and rounded mouthfeel. Thick and attractive, toffeeish and raisin bread-like malt body, remaining sweetness, warming, rich finish with a lot of rum- or port-like booze - perhaps a little bit astringent in the very end, but otherwise very appropriate for the style; late herbal hop bitterness, toasty bitter touch and mild spiciness, but the liquid dried fruit bread effect lingers as the last impression. Traditionally conceived Bavarian style Eisbock - but exceptionally well made, rivalling with e.g. Schneider's legendary interpretation of this - traditionally speaking - rare style. Fully deserves its place in the top-50 of the style on this site.
