Two of these last night:


I think they overhyped the hops, to their credit. This was actually very smooth and drinkable.

I'd agree with the hops. Very good to drink though

Shared my bottle over the weekend.



An eisbock that tastes kind of like a Belgian strong ale mixed with a barrel aged barley wine on steroids. Really delicious stuff but you have to treat it like a bottle of wine. Dangerous stuff.

Would you recommend it? Not the biggest fan of barley wine (though the one I had was really oaky and I hate overtly oaky things).

If you don't like barley wines and you don't really like beers with heavy barrel influences I'd say there's a good chance that you won't like this one as much as I do. You might hate it lol.

Also if you haven't had huge beers like this it might be a bit shocking in how boozy it is. The alcohol is probably more obvious in Norseman than it is in Sweet 16 which is the highest ABV beer I've ever had.

It's not just a higher ABV Aventinus Eisbock. They don't even taste like they are the same style of beer.

He says talking to the guy who lives in a country where they sell a vodka at 83% alcohol.

Sask is finally producing some decent beer. The Centennial Rye is terrific. Basically a Rye APA, delicious.
