I was just searching around for Canadian Craft beers when I came across a beer I have to brew. My last name is Hermetz and in high school my friends started to call me the Herminator... for reasons I will not share here. lol. Basically my friends insist that I make this beer.
So without question I have to brew this Ice Bock.
I can't lager however.... at least not yet. So maybe I can just keep the fermenting temps 60-65 ish?
Question is though...what kind of Bock do you think this is?
Heres the description on the site:
Hermannator Ice Bock is a dark chestnut colour that appears almost opaque. Its full-bodied, rich malt palate blends well with mild bitterness. A smooth, but assertive mouthfeel contains hints of plum spiciness. A warming brandy like finish rounds out this outstanding winter ice bock.
Tasting Notes:
Colour: Dark Chestnut
Malt: Caramel and Chocolate Malt
Hops: Cluster and Saaz
Body: Smooth, assertive mouthfeel, deep malt body
What makes this beer so unique is that it takes 14 weeks to brew from start to finish. Because the brewing process is so intensive and complex, there’s nothing else like it in Canada”. 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 says Pittroff. 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.
Cloning a Bock... help.
