#7  No it doesn't.

The brew was near frozen and ice was removed to increase the alcohol content by removing water.

#6  Alcohol production requires reducing the batch to clarity, and then adding flavorings. For example, all dark rum was once clear. The Russian process in all in the flavoring. Wonder why Moonshine has little flavor?

#1  Beyond about 11%, more alcohol doesn't help the beer flavor, so its quality declines. Beer makers overcame this by adding digestives, ingredients that would stimulate the digestion, so you would absorb the alcohol faster.

Oddly enough, the Russians have long had techniques to do just the opposite with vodka, so that they could drink much more, yet absorb it slowly, to mitigate the effects of the alcohol.
