"A friend brought me this about a year ago, and I just found my notes now. It was mud brown, thin head, sour raspberry aroma and taste. Not all that enjoyable."

"Wow thanks eagle for scoring this one. Poured a redish brown with zero head and tons of sedimentation. Aroma was of chocolate and a tons of raspberries. Flavor was perfect, tart but not crazy raspberries with a well balanced chocolate/caramel, toasted malts. Solid beer.

"NorCal December '07 - What an unbelieveable beer in such a little bottle. I know the process of making an Eisbock is painstakingly difficult, but the results are proof positive that these guys know how it's done. An aroma of red vines, chocolate cake, raspberry puree, and a touch soy. Appearance is a dark reddish/brown color, minimal head. Flavor is like a burst of chocolate/raspberry flavor, nice toasted malts and a touch of oxidation. Alcohol is well hidden in this beer and it lets the raspberries and chocolate shine. Incredible beer."

[4] Review by RedHaze from Bellevue, NE, USA who has tried this beer once. (3/2/2007 4:36:15 PM)
"6.3 oz waxed bottle.
Pours a dark red tinged brown, with a small tan head that fades very quickly to nothing. Due to lack of any head there's no lacing to speak of. Not much to look at, but it was to be expected with the high abv.
Smell; the raspberries really jump out of the glass, and are mixed with a very rich chocolate aroma. A touch of caramel is present in the nose, along with a nice nutty background.
Taste; as expected the raspberries are very evident in the flavor, and it definitely does not come of as artificial at all, which I'm very thankful for. The chocolate comes out next, and nearly as strongly as the raspberries do. The nutty flavors are very much present as well, and provide just enough of a bittering effect to offset the sweetness of the raspberries and chocolate. There's some hints of vinegar in the background that, surprisingly, seems to fit right in with everything ealse going on in this beer..
Mouthfeel/Drinkabilty; the mouthfeel on this one maybe the fullest, and mostly velvety of any beer that I've ever had. The drinkability is very good.
Between the raspberries, chocolate, nuts and very full mouthfeel, this is like drinking a chocolate raspberry cake with a some walnuts or pecans sprinkled on top. This was my first beer of 2007, and boy was it a good one."

"Deep, slightly hazed red. The aroma is pound cake with raspberry filling and a bit of vanilla. Fairly tart, which blends nicely with the other flavors. Sweet."
