Senses Brewing Cherry Peak
Eisbock 13.5 º
Cherry Peak is an indulgent Eisbock that marries traditional German lager depth with a sophisticated barrel-aged cherry character. This high-gravity brew presents a viscous, mahogany profile defined by intense Maillard-driven maltiness, offering layers of toasted bread, deep caramel, and faint chocolate. The addition of cherries imparts a concentrated dark fruit tartness that cuts through the rich, sweet malt base, while extensive barrel aging lends a smooth, wood-kissed complexity. At 13.5% ABV, it provides a powerful, velvety warmth that lingers on the palate, harmonizing the decadent sweetness with a refined, spirited dryness in the finish.
Appearance. Deep mahogany with brilliant ruby highlights and good clarity. The head is a thin, ivory-colored collar with poor retention, typical of the high alcohol content, leaving pronounced legs on the glass.
Aroma. High intensity. Dominated by rich, bready, and toasty malt with significant caramel and a hint of dark chocolate. A potent but smooth alcohol presence is well-integrated with aromatic notes of macerated cherries, raisins, and plums. No hop aroma is present; the fermentation remains clean.
Taste. Initial impression is deeply malty and sweet, featuring complex toasted grain and caramel flavors. The cherries provide a gourmet fruitiness that complements the malt-derived esters. Hop bitterness is low, providing just enough structure to prevent a cloying sensation. The finish is long and warming, with the alcohol providing a pleasant dryness against the lingering rich malt.
Mouthfeel. Very full-bodied and viscous with a silky, mouth-coating texture. Carbonation is low. There is a significant, smooth alcohol warmth that is comforting rather than harsh or solventy.
