Bauhöfer Eisbock

Tap to rate

Pronounced hop notes of ripe peaches, subtle citrus and fine hay lead into a full-bodied, strong taste and a long-lasting aromatic finish. Amber with copper highlights and a cream-coloured, fine-pored foam. Brewed by hand in an elaborate traditional process that draws water out of the beer as ice to intensify the aromas: 23 % original gravity, 10.5 % ABV.

◐ Taste

Full-bodied and creamy on the palate, with peach and hoppy character leading the initial impression. The elevated ABV (10.5%) creates a warming, boozy note that integrates with caramel and malty sweetness; moderate bitterness (35 IBU) provides balance without aggression, allowing the aromas to persist through a smooth, lengthy finish.
