DrMJG 221 Posted June 23, 2018 I am getting together any suggestions I can about making an Eisbock. Everything I read says to make a good Doppelbock to begin with and go from there. I have gathered that the actual technique for freezing the bock is as basic as it gets and that I will loose volume in the process. As further conditioning is needed, I will have to draw up my patience until it is time to enjoy. Has anyone made this using MB materials? Hoping to celebrate the start of the new year with this one. I have had some in my jaded past and can't wait to try the process. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrMJG 221 Posted June 23, 2018 Thanks! Biggest problem will be the lack of snow banks here in Phoenix! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
D Kristof 1,158 Posted June 23, 2018 When it was rebottled in those glass Mexican 6 ounce Coke bottles does than change it from a stout to more of a Modella Negra clone? I'm confused?😉😒 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrMJG 221 Posted June 23, 2018 The freezing concentrates both the taste and the ABV. Everything is more intense. As with its cousin, Eiswein, the intensity means it is served in smaller units. This is definitely what I call a stay at home brew, especially if you have more than one. ABV is able to easily top 10% and some add another 4%. The final number is a bit of a crapshoot. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
D Kristof 1,158 Posted June 23, 2018 In Germany, from my experiences, Eis' is generally served with meals. Typically a meal with robust flavors. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shrike 6,112 Posted June 23, 2018 I missed out on this when I was in Germany (and I spent a total of nine years there). Where were y'all when you had it? I spent most of my time in the states of Rheinland-Palatinate, Saarland, Hesse, and Bavaria, and never had one. Man, I had my share of Eiswein, though! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrMJG 221 Posted June 23, 2018 I had it in both Bavaria and in Salzburg Austria. Though not too often as it is both a winter brew AND expensive! was introduced to it by a landlord who was also the Braumeister at a small local brewery near Kulmbach, where the style originated. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
