Jim Moffat: Note: the US Gubmint considers freezing the beer and extracting the remaining liquid an act of distillation, so you can only get an eisbock from a brewery that has a distillery’s license. Maplewood does.

Arguably a session Eisbock, some of them I've seen at as much as 17%. This is a little more rustic than a doppelbock but it's still very tasty, and what a unique way to make beer!

My first full eisbock. Big aroma of dark fruit. Not much head, not a lot of carbonation (but it’s not flat). Doughy, bready malt character. Notes of chocolate, raisins, dates and brown sugar. Full bodied and boozy. Absolutely delicious.

Wayne D: This reminds me of the "ice wine" they make up in Canada, where they use frozen grapes.
Jim Moffat: Wayne D.probably something similar. Or a similar process.
Jim Moffat: Dwayne G. Not sure how that would work if there are two separate organizations, but this beer was really good. But be careful. It’s going to be a big ABV
