Brouwerij De Kobold Zwarte Philip
This Weizenbock offers a seductive profile centered on a deep, bready wheat base enhanced by significant Maillard richness. The influence of dark caramel malts provides a smooth, inviting sweetness, while distinct chocolatey goodness adds a decadent layer that complements the traditional German wheat character. Subtle banana esters from the weizen yeast integrate seamlessly with light clove phenolics. At 7% ABV, it presents a balanced strength, leaning into a complex, dessert-like depth without becoming cloying. The interplay between the rich malt, subtle fruit, and a clean, warming finish makes for a highly inviting sensory experience that balances traditional yeast signatures with bold, darker malt flavors.
Appearance. Dark ruby-brown in color (approx 22 SRM) with a very thick, moussy, long-lasting light tan head. Appearance is hazy with a visible shine from the wheat and yeast.
Aroma. High intensity malty richness with a bready, grainy wheat character and significant toasted bread and caramel notes. Notable chocolate accents are present alongside subtle banana esters and moderate clove phenols. Hop aroma is absent; alcohol is low and well-integrated.
Taste. Initial impression is rich and malty with significant bready wheat flavor and caramel sweetness. Gentle chocolate flavors provide depth without roasted harshness. Hop flavor is absent, and bitterness is low, allowing for a slightly sweet palate impression that transitions into a relatively dry finish. Fermentation character includes moderate clove and soft banana, which adds complexity through the aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a soft, fluffy, and creamy texture. Carbonation is moderate to high, providing a lively lift to the palate. Features a light, pleasant alcohol warmth without being hot.
