Original German ice beer brewed by freezing water at low enough temperature to form dispensable ice crystals, yet high enough temperature to keep alcohol liquid. Vintage date on alcohol-stiffened, reddish brown, oak-aged ‘ice bock’ label reads July 11, 1996 #38,512. Beautiful mocha-induced burgundy sweetness draws you into warming dessert lager. Lusty brown-sugared cherry, raisin, and candied apple illusions bound by currant-embittered hop-spiced coffee liqueur resonation.
