BJCP 2015 Guideline

Strong European Beer Eisbock

BJCP 9B

BJCP 2015 9B Eisbock example
9B - Eisbock

 

Overall Impression

A strong, full-bodied, rich, and malty dark German lager often with a viscous quality and strong flavors. Even though flavors are concentrated, the alcohol should be smooth and warming, not burning.

Comments

Extended lagering is often needed post-freezing to smooth the alcohol and enhance the malt and alcohol balance. Pronounced "ICE-bock."
