Lanius Eis 36°

There are many stories of how the frozen distilled beers were born. The most of them is describing coincidental discovery of freezing out water from beer. If it be a reprehensible leaving of Doppelbock casks outside for a night to freeze, a brisk nighttime transportation of the beer during a bombardment of a brewery, or if we decide to believe that the founders of this process were already the ancient vikings, it is still a fact, that first one who began with mass production of a new beer style called Eisbock was Kulmbacher brewery from the German town of Kulmbach. The process, thanks to which at low temperatures is water removed from the beer during frozen distillation concentrates not only alcohol, but all aromatising substances as well, giving birth to a brand new product. We brewed our Lanius Eis as a strong amber Doppelbock which we then frozen distilled. It is a very laborious and timeconsuming process and in order to get 1 litre of our Eis, we must have used 6 litres of original beer. But it has been worth it! In taste, there are distinguishable aromas of dried plums, sour cherries, figs, chocolate, caramel, raisins, nuts, almonds, all this supported by an overall pleasant sweetness with an alcoholic warmth and a head resembling a piece of tiramisu. This is our Eis.
