Dark brown or “cola-black” strong German dark
lager, but with traditionally a Kulmbach area style of partially freezing a doppelbock and removing
the water to concentrate the flavour and alcohol content. Smell is not very
noticeable (but not bad either, maybe a hint of sweet and nutty) and taste is
kinda the same, lagerish. Not bad, still.
Very good for a lager, but of course
this has some back-kick in storage in form of alcohol as this has 9,2 % alc vol. Aftertaste is kinda
nice, a bit bitter but in a malty way, this is not very hoppy. Sweetness and
nuttyness in the taste too.
I actually like this very much, though it is not
great. This is still one of the best German beer styles this eisbock, I reckon.
This has nothing to do with those worse-than-piss strong lagers, that they make
in Eastern Europe (and in Finland) just to get people drunk. This has taste and
character.
*** OK
