To make König Eisbock — which translates to King Eisbock — we transferred about 15 barrels of Carolator, a 7.4% ABV pale doppelbock lager, into a tank that that was cooled to 23-24°F so that ice crystals formed and floated to the top of the tank. After roughly four weeks, when the pure ice crystals had fully separated from the bier, 8.5 barrels of unfrozen bier were transferred to another tank, leaving the solid ice behind. The partially de-watered and concentrated bier finished at 10.7% ABV, with subtly sweet notes of honey and a booze-forward finish.
