Alaskan took its award-winning Troppelbock and increased the intensity by freezing it in the fermentation tank. By taking out some of the resulting ice crystals, the beer gets stronger and more packed full of deep, rich flavor. With a dark brown color and sweet malt character from the combination of Pale, Vienna, Munich, Light Chocolate and other malts - this is the perfect warmer for a cold Alaska January night. Apollo and Hallertauer Magnum hop varieties bring balance to the sweetness, although hop bitterness is very low and hop flavor and aroma are absent. This is a full-bodied beer with cherry notes and rich caramel overtones. Brewed in a small batch for the Alaskan Beer and Barleywine Festival, our Eisbock was available on a limited basis for a few months only in Alaska this past winter, and only on draft.
