Aventinus - Eisbock

Aventinus - Eisbock

They freeze this beer and scoop out the ice before it gets bottled, which makes the beer stronger and intensities all the flavors.

No exception here - It's just an explosion of a belgian beer goodness. Dark pour with a head that just keeps building. It tastes spicy and sweet, like a good bock, but much more intense - one sip was almost like a whole glass, coats your tastebuds. It's not as thick as I expected - maybe that's due to the carbonation. As it warmed it got sweeter, I think it tastes like what would happen if you mixed a trappist beer with a barleywine and an imperial stout.
