As I understand it, this is very simple: Partially freeze your favorite
beer (preferably a bock, hence the term eisbock) at the end of fermentation
and remove some of the ice crystals. Alcohol won't freeze at 32 degrees,
just the water. Removing the water ice will thereby increase the ABV. Not
rocket science.
