Weizenbock 7 º 20 IBU

Klosterbrauerei Andechs

Crafted by Klosterbrauerei Andechs as a noble tribute to King Ludwig I, this majestic Weizenbock pours a deep, hazy mahogany beneath a towering, moussy tan head. The sensory journey begins with an opulent bouquet of ripe banana, spicy clove, and rich, bready dark malts, accented by whispers of dark plum and raisin. On the palate, a velvety, full-bodied elegance delivers decadent toasted malt sweetness seamlessly balanced by a lively carbonation and a soft, warming whisper of clean alcohol. It beautifully honors its monastic heritage, culminating in a smooth, satisfying finish that marries yeast expression with deep German malt complexity.

Appearance. Deep dark copper to mahogany brown with a heavy, persistent, and moussy light tan head. Distinctly hazy with a healthy yeast cloudiness, displaying brilliant ruby highlights when held to the light.

Aroma. High intensity. Rich, bready, and highly toasted malt aroma with strong caramel and Maillard complexity. Pronounced yeast-derived esters of ripe banana and spicy phenols of clove. Subtle undertones of dark fruits like plums and raisins. No hop aroma. Clean, integrated, low-to-moderate alcohol presence.

Taste. Rich and decadent entry of toasted wheat, bready malt, and caramel sweetness. Prominent banana and spicy clove flavors interlock with dark fruit esters of prune and raisin. Minimal hop bitterness, but the beer finishes remarkably clean and dry rather than cloying. Highly complex with a harmonious interplay of rich malt, spicy yeast, and smooth alcohol.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full to full body with a wonderfully fluffy, creamy, and pillowy texture. High carbonation provides a lively, refreshing lift to the rich malt weight. Delivers a soft, gentle alcohol warmth that enhances the cozy, comforting finish.
