Eisbock
Eisbock is an intensified version of Doppelbock created by partially freezing the beer and removing the ice crystals, a process called 'ice distillation' that concentrates both flavor and alcohol. Originating in Germany, likely in the Kulmbach region, this style exhibits rich malty sweetness with notes of dried fruits, chocolate, and caramel, while alcohol warmth is apparent but should remain smooth. Traditional versions are made from the same ingredients as Doppelbocks (Munich and Vienna malts), but with increased intensity due to the freezing process.
