Eisbock - BeerAdvocate

I still just don't like the idea.

And if you start with a crappy beer the freeze it...you get the idea.
I'm not sure Icehouse is an Eisbock. The alcohol content isn't that high (5.5%), and it was on the first list of beers you posted, but not the listed posted above. I took a quick look at their website earlier and it says something like cold brewed, so it's probably a marketing spin. It's not an expensive beer, either......... but not brewed with a quick buzz in mind. It was better than the watered down beers I've had.
