Tank Bender

Bock - Eisbock (Traditional)

Tank Bender is our first foray into the rare style known as eisbock. This style involves freezing water off the beer, resulting in ultra-concentrated flavor, deeper body and, in our case, a bent tank from collapsing ice. A liberal addition of Munich malt highlights the toasty and dark fruit notes while a stay in bourbon barrels tames those intense flavors.

Very lively upon opening and gushed everywhere. A murky brown color with a small tan cap of foam. Smells of raisins, dates, figs and some bourbon. The taste is very sweet and fruity with dates, figs, raisins, plums, a bit of barrel. A very dry feel.

Hard to believe that after 6yrs this is still so hot, 15% not hiding. This is almost barleywine like, getting some caramel and dried fruit but leaves me wanting more. Barrel presence is strong.

Had this when new but Zach the Kitten gave me an aged bottle. Had to pop it open tonight. Some age makes it drink like an old ale like Curmudgeon. Caramel notes with boozy barrel. It’s a big beer that needs sipped. Tasty!
