Weizenbock 9 º 25 IBU

Jopen

Jopen Johannieter is a robust Weizenbock that masterfully balances the yeast-driven complexity of a traditional wheat beer with the profound depth of a dark doppelbock. A significant addition of roasted wheat malt anchors the experience, delivering rich layers of chocolate and caramel. The fermentation profile introduces signature notes of banana and spicy clove, which intertwine with dark fruit esters of raisins and red fruit. At 9% ABV, it presents a smooth, full-bodied presence that remains elegant. This monk-inspired brew offers a decadent sensory journey through toasted grains and refined sweetness, concluding with a clean, lingering warmth.

Appearance. Dark ruby-brown with deep mahogany highlights. Topped by a very thick, long-lasting, mousse-like light tan head. Exhibits a slight haze typical of high wheat content and yeast suspension.

Aroma. High intensity malt-forward aroma dominated by deeply toasted bread, caramel, and subtle milk chocolate. Prominent yeast character provides moderate banana and spicy clove. Rich dark fruit notes of raisins, plums, and red berries emerge as the beer warms, balanced by a faint, clean alcohol presence. No hop aroma.

Taste. Initial impression of rich, bready malt sweetness and toasted grain. Mid-palate reveals complex layers of caramel, chocolate, and dried dark fruits like raisins. Low bitterness allows the malt to shine, though it doesn't feel cloying. Fermentation contributes spicy clove and ripe banana esters. The finish is surprisingly clean with a lingering bready aftertaste and a hint of dark fruit leather.

Mouthfeel. Full-bodied and velvety with a creamy, fluffy texture. Carbonation is moderate to high, providing a lifting effect that prevents the heavy body from becoming syrupy. A smooth, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present but never harsh or solventy.
