VICTORIA, BC – Vancouver Island Brewery have released this year’s edition of their winter seasonal, Hermannator Ice Bock. It’s described by the brewery as follows:
The Ice Bock has a silky mouth feel that is created by a slow fermentation process, and then aged at near freezing temperatures for 10 weeks. Using a signature blend of chocolate and caramel malts creates a dark chestnut coloured beer with a full body and rich malt flavour. At 9.5% alc by volume, Hermannator delivers a smooth, but assertive mouthfeel with hints of plum spiciness. A warming brandy like finish rounds out this outstanding winter beer.
Hermannator Ice Bock is available now at select Victoria-area liquor stores in limited quantities.
Im drinking one of these right now. Really good beer. Be careful though, the taste hides the 9.5% alcohol well, you get drunk fast on this stuff.
