About Eisbock

Eisbocks are amber to dark brown in color and range in alcohol from 8.5-14%. This is the strongest type of bock. It is made by chilling a doppelbock until ice is formed. At this point, the ice is removed, leaving behind a beer with a higher alcohol content. The resultant beer is rich and powerful, with a pronounced malt sweetness and a warm alcoholic finish. Noteworthy examples of this style include: Capital EisPhyre, Vancouver Island Hermannator Ice Bock and Kulmbacher Eisbock.

Dark walnut color. Sweet aromas of chocolate covered toffee, marinated strawberry, dark roasted hazelnut, and cured meats with a satiny, vibrant, effervescent, dry-yet-fruity medium-to-full body and a charming, medium-long chocolate babka, chocolate malt shake, mint, and maple finish. A rich but never heavy Eisbock with excellent pure flavors; treat yourself.
