August 4, 2005 - #26 of 365

Brewer: Kulmbacher Braueri (Kulmbach, Germany)
Beer: Eisbock
Style: Eisbock
abv: 9.2%

Background: Bottle from Once Upon a Vine in Richmond.

Appearance: Black with a huge tan head. No lacing. The bottle looks like a disco ball--it almost made me pass this one up.

Aroma: Standard doppelbock aroma (dark fruits, chocolate, toffee, coffee) with a slight alcohol burn.

Flavor: Tastes exactly like an Ayinger Celebrator--no hint of the greater alcohol content.

Notes: Very good. Belies the stupid, cheap-looking bottle.

Rating: 4 out of 5
