#eisbock — Public Fediverse posts

I'm very slowly making my way through the #cicerone #beer course this year, and tonight I tried a type I've never had before, #eisbock. Whoa, a single bottle of this knocked me on my ASS; but then again, it's 12% ABV! Already boozy because of long bottom-up fermentation in cold weather, the "eis" version of bock is even boozier because it's first frozen then all the frozen water removed, leaving an intensely malty and sweet lager literally as strong as red wine. "Bavarian ice cream" indeed!
