This important paper establishes part of the Eisenstein conjecture. Specifically it is proved that the Whittaker coefficients of Borel Eisenstein series on the metaplectic covers of \(\mathrm{GL}_{r+1}\) can be expressed in terms of Weyl group multiple Dirichlet series in \(r\) complex variables. To construct these Weyl group multiple Dirichlet series, the authors first attach quantities of number-theoretic nature to the vertices of a crystal graph. The ``\(p\)-parts'' of the coefficients of the Weyl group multiple Dirichlet series are then derived from the sum over those vertices. In contrast to the non-metaplectic case, the coefficients of the Weyl group multiple Dirichlet series considered in the paper are not multiplicative. However, the authors prove that they satisfy a ``twisted multiplicativity'' property which suffices for determining the coefficients from their ``\(p\)-parts''. The expression for the \(p\)-parts of these coefficients established in the paper can be considered as an extension of the formula of \textit{W. Casselman} and \textit{J. Shalika} [Compos. Math. 41, 207--231 (1980; Zbl 0472.22005)] and is thus of independent interest. The authors show that the crystal graph description they give is equivalent to the Geldfand-Tsetlin description previously conjectured by the authors and \textit{J. Hoffstein} [Ann. Math. (2) 166, No. 1, 293--316 (2007; Zbl 1154.11016)]. The \(p\)-parts of the coefficients were also described by \textit{G. Chinta} and \textit{P. E. Gunnells} [Invent. Math. 167, No. 2, 327--353 (2007; Zbl 1203.11062)] using averaging. Subsequent work by \textit{G. Chinta} and \textit{O. Offen} [Am. J. Math. 135, No. 2, 403--441 (2013; Zbl 1294.22012)] and by \textit{P. J. McNamara} [Duke Math. J. 156, No. 1, 1--31 (2011; Zbl 1217.22015)] implies that the crystal graph description given in the paper under review agrees, in the case of type A, with the description given by Chinta and Gunnells [loc. cit.].
