De Molen Rasputin Eisbock
This Eisbock offers a profound sensory concentration, delivering an intensified experience of the legendary Rasputin lineage. At 18% ABV, it presents a masterclass in freeze-distillation, showcasing a viscous, mahogany-hued body with deep ruby flashes. The aroma is an immersive wave of dark fruit—specifically prunes and raisins—intertwined with toasty Maillard products and a clean, spirit-like warmth. On the palate, expect a luxurious layer of dark chocolate, caramel, and concentrated malt sweetness, meticulously balanced by a drying, potent alcohol presence. The finish is exceptionally long and warming, leaving a smooth, silken trail of dark berries and rich, bready malt.
Appearance. Deep mahogany to dark brown with brilliant ruby highlights. Clarity is good, though the beer is nearly opaque. The head is deep ivory, thin, and dissipates rapidly into a light ring with noticeable legs (tears of wine) due to the extreme alcohol content.
Aroma. High intensity. Dominated by rich, concentrated malt and a clean but powerful alcohol presence. Aromas of toasted bread, dark caramel, and faint chocolate are layered with significant dark fruit esters, reminiscent of plums and black cherries. No hop aroma. The fermentation profile is clean.
Taste. Initial impression of intense malt richness and sweetness, followed by a significant, warming alcohol presence. Malt flavors of toasted grain, molasses, and dark chocolate predominate. Significant dark fruit esters contribute complexity. Hop bitterness is low to moderate, serving only to prevent a cloying finish, which remains malt-forward but is tempered by the drying effect of the alcohol. No hop flavor.
Mouthfeel. Full to very full-bodied and notably viscous. Carbonation is low, contributing to a silky texture. Alcohol warmth is prominent and deep, though it remains smooth rather than harsh or fusel. No astringency is detected.
