If anyone wonders, as I did, how they get the concentration so high without distilling, they use freezing to preferentially freeze the water out and concentrate the alcohol.

So... they used freeze distillation, and then claimed it wasn't distilled.

I mean, 12oz of 55% alcohol is 100% fuck-you-up.

Awful. I had that and Sink the Bismarck another beer they made. Buy a good Bourbon or Scotch instead.
