This record-setting German steroid-bock is the "holy shit" of beers. Not solely due to the immediate alcohol poisoning that occurs in shotgunning just one 11oz. bottle; but also for the fact that it should be against the laws of nature for any yeast to ferment that much alcohol in any drinkable format.
However, the genius schnitzel scarfing brewers over the pond worked around such petty things as nature and found that by freezing the beer to a temperature that kept the beer liquid and the majority of the water frozen they could siphon off the best parts. From there they use a 15 step filtering method that compresses a vat of beer to 1/10 of its original size. An article in Wired cites that batches start as 350L and end up as 35L--then to the 11oz bottle which will take you back about $120.00.
For brewers and beer-lovers alike the price-tag alone will generally make this no more than bottle talk over the dependable and delicious brews that aren't trying to sexually abuse your wallets and palates. That said, I'm now collecting donations for a great cause...
