Vancouver Island Brewing Hermannator Ice Bock

I wait every year for this beer to be released in late October.  I unfortunately missed this one for a couple of years as it sells out quickly so I was happy to see it in the store a couple of weeks ago.  This one isn't for the faint of heart, a high ABV of 9.5%.  It pours a molasses dark brown almost black with a khaki head that dissipates quickly.  This beer has a distinctive sweetness from the brewing process. Ice Bocks or Eisbock's  brewed the same way all others are brewed except after they age the beer for a few months they freeze the beer and remove the ice crystals leaving a stronger & sweeter beer.  I hope you leave some for me next year.
