SNAB is inspired for her Icebok by the travel report 'Om de Noord' by Gerrit de Veer from 1597. He describes how the ship's crew is surprised to discover that liquid remains in a frozen beer keg that tastes excellent and that 'all the strength in it there is still a little bit of liquid beer. ' SNAB mimics this process with her Ezelenbok to obtain Icebuck. Lagering with American Oak provides a slightly burned character and notes of caramel and vanilla.

Reddish brown colour, beige head. Aroma of wood, raisins, malts, sweet malt, light marzipan and red fruit. Sweet flavour, raisins, vanilla and wood. Light astringent. Finish wood, honey, lingering sweet. Nice brew, the wood notes really seem to balance it out.

bruin/rood helder met schuimige kaki kraag, die mooi aan de rand blijft plakken aroma: vanille, hout, moutig, chocolade, caramout smaken: matig zoet, redelijk bitter, licht zuur, sterk, donker fruit, matig gemout, wat aardse tonen, caramout, vanille, bruine suiker medium body, romig textuur, lage co2, afdronk kruidig, bier wel even lekker op laten warmen, komt de smaak wel ten goede. goede BA deze is véél beter dan de matige ijsbock zelf.
