My sister-in-law's boyfriend misunderstood me and he drank a bottle of Tokyo* I had brought down to share (took it from the crate I left in the cellar), so I'm no longer in the mood for sharing ;) (and he said didn't like it! He was probably destroyed, as I think he opened it on New Year's Eve).<br /><br />Schorschbräu clearly focus on the high ABVs. I don't think they do anything less than 13%! I wonder would they consider doing an imperial stout...Barry Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07367655129107699025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8943606491780538470.post-73126684001766808142010-01-04T20:38:55.498+01:002010-01-04T20:38:55.498+01:00"Too late, I realised I probably should have ..."Too late, I realised I probably should have shared the bottle" - been there!! <br /><br />The Weizenbock sounds very good. I'd be interested to see what the 40% one is like, although it'll cost a small fortune, I imagine.<br /><br />And what kind of a crazy bloody brewery has a line-up like this?!

It doesn't say it on the site, or on the label, but given the original gravities of 25° and 32° Plato respectively, they'd want to be getting some pretty good attenuation on those babies to push to 13 and 16% ABV. So, a little eis I reckon. Anyway, I'm sure they'd state it on the label if it was through pure fermentation.Barry Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07367655129107699025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8943606491780538470.post-62866776092663103512010-01-04T00:00:30.846+01:002010-01-04T00:00:30.846+01:00Bazzer, do you know if these all get to their fina...Bazzer, do you know if these all get to their final strength through fermentation alone?ZakAveryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01794154105596597019noreply@blogger.com
