Have you tried it? Actually the water will turn to slush before the alcohol freezes. You can remove the slush, thus removing the water and strengthening the beer. In Colonial times this was done to alcoholic apple cider during the winter and was called "Apple Jack."
In the US, Malt Liquor is basically just a higher alcohol beer, as far as I know. It is called "Malt Liquor" just as a tax, labeling deal to separate it from "Beer" - and some states even classify "Ale" as different from "Beer" - all based on the alcohol level.
