Holzfassgereifter Eisbock

◎ Aussehen

Deep amber to brown hue with excellent clarity, characteristic of a concentrated Eisbock. The head is dense and persistent, clinging to the glass in fine lacing with each sip. Fine carbonation creates a lively effervescence that sustains the visual intensity.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with rich malty sweetness underscored by subtle notes of marzipan and dried stone fruit. A gentle wooden note from barrel aging emerges beneath, accompanied by hints of dark chocolate and the faintest suggestion of sherry. The alcohol warmth is present but well-integrated, not aggressive.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is soft and full-bodied, with pronounced sweetness balanced by restrained bitterness (22 IBU). Mid-palate develops layers of dark chocolate, dried fruit, and oak character from barrel maturation. The mouthfeel is smooth and silky despite the high alcohol, with just enough structure to prevent cloying.

◑ Abgang

Long and warming, with fruit notes lingering as the alcoholic heat gradually builds. A clean, dry quality emerges in the aftertaste, preventing heaviness and inviting another sip.
