Bottle @ home shared with Dutchdrebus and Ansjelaah. Clear amber reddish color, small beige head. Faint aroma, only get a slight maltyness and some sweetness. Taste lightly malts, sweetness, some alcohol, overripe fruits. Medium to full body, medium carbonation. Quite nice.

Bottle @ benzai. Clear amber colour with a very small sized off-white head. Smells sweet, barley wine, malts. Tastes sweet, barley wine, nuts, bourbon. I like the barley wine taste, so this beer?s fine for me. I?m not too familiar with eisbocks, so I don?t know whether this is a good one. I like the taste though. Medium to full body, soft carbo, slightly thick.

341 mml bottle tasted on 02/06/2014. Opaque black colour with a medium beige head. Aroma is coffee, chocolate and roasted malts. Intense dry and bitter aftertaste with predominance of the coffee. The problem for me is the low carbonation of the beer. Next one please!

Rien d’exceptionnel mais c’est une IPA très respectable. Ça fait quelques années qu’elle est là et elle est encore bonne ;-)

Bottle: Poured a clear light golden color lager with a small white fizzy head with light retention and no lacing. Aroma of light cereal notes is quite bland. Taste is also dominated by light bland cereal notes. Body is about average for style. Not much to report here as this is a pretty standard light lager with maybe a tad more cereal notes than usual.

Bottle: Poured a golden color ale with a medium size foamy head with limited retention. Aroma of lightly sweet cereal notes is quite bland. Taste is a mix of lightly sweet cereal notes with some light overcooked vegetable notes. Body is about average with medium carbonation. Too much of the overcooked vegetable notes to be truly enjoyable.

Not that I’ve had many but this isn’t among the better eisbock’s I’ve enjoyed. Pours reddish brown without much head or lacing. Seems a little low in alcohol for style - tastes more like an average barley wine than an eisbock. Smells huge on caramelized malt. Pretty thick consistency as well. Finishes sweet with a note of woody barrel. Bottle.

BOTTLE 341ML shared with Boystout - thanks!

Look: clear dark ruby with a small disappearing head.
Aroma: super intense malt character, caramel, burnt sugar, dried prunes, raisins, some phenolic pepper, but not alcohol.
Taste: lighter than the aroma suggests but still rich, very sweet, malt, light phenolic, not much alcohol.
