Eisbock 6.5 º

Velum Fermentation

Velum Fermentation's Fruiting Bodies offers a complex, concentrated take on an Eisbock, enhanced by the addition of tart fruit. This deep mahogany lager leads with an intense, toasty malt backbone characterized by Maillard-driven bread crust and faint chocolate. The raspberry addition introduces a bright, jammy layer that melds with the natural dark fruit esters of plum and grape inherent to the style. Despite the modest 6.5% ABV, it retains a silky, viscous mouthfeel and a smooth, warming presence. The finish balances decadent malt sweetness with a clean, fruit-forward dryness, creating a rich yet remarkably drinkable sensory profile.

Appearance. Deep copper to dark brown with brilliant clarity and attractive ruby highlights. The head is off-white to deep ivory, showing moderate retention and leaving pronounced legs on the glass.

Aroma. High intensity. Dominated by rich, intense malt with bready, toasty, and light caramel qualities. A pronounced raspberry aroma blends with malt-derived dark fruit notes like plum or grape. Clean fermentation profile with no hop aroma; alcohol is present but smooth and well-integrated.

Taste. Initial impression of rich, sweet malt with flavors of toast and Maillard-driven caramel. The raspberry adds a distinct jammy fruitiness that complements the significant malt-derived dark fruit esters. Hop bitterness is low, providing just enough balance to avoid a cloying character. No hop flavor. The finish is rich with malt and a subtle dryness from the alcohol warmth.

Mouthfeel. Full-bodied with a smooth, silky texture. Carbonation is low. Provides a noticeable, well-integrated alcohol warmth without any sharp hotness, fusels, or harsh edges.
