This year’s ice-beer is a beast unto itself… Instead of blending an array of beers like previous batches, we brewed an imperial stout especially for the project. This gave us more control over the final outcome. An increase in the freeze distilling temperature (from -30°C to -11°C) led to a notable drop in ABV. That’s right, this one settles in at 16.4% - though we reckon it’s still best shared.
After being extracted from its glacial mass, the concentrated liquid was returned to the cellar, where it rested on vanilla for just over a month. It pours rich brown. Expect aromas of brewed coffee and choc-dipped orange, with lifted herbal notes. To drink, it’s elaborate and fiery, showing blackstrap molasses, vanilla, and a tickle of phenolic spice.
