BJCP 2008 Guideline

Bock - Eisbock

BJCP 5D

5D - Bock / Eisbock

IMPRESSION

An extremely strong, full and malty dark lager.

COMMENTS

Eisbocks are not simply stronger doppelbocks; the name refers to the process of freezing and concentrating the beer. Some doppelbocks are stronger than Eisbocks. Extended lagering is often needed post-freezing to smooth the alcohol and enhance the malt and alcohol balance. Any fruitiness is due to Munich and other specialty malts, not yeast-derived esters developed during fermentation.

EXAMPLES

Kulmbacher ReichelbrÃ¤u Eisbock, Eggenberg Urbock Dunkel Eisbock, Niagara Eisbock, Capital Eisphyre, Southampton Eisbock
