Weizenbock 7.3 º 40 IBU

ReCraft

ReCraft 19 Bourbon Bock is a sophisticated interpretation of a dark Weizenbock, balancing the creamy structure of wheat malt with the complex depth provided by oak flakes. The sensory profile is defined by a high malty richness and bready caramel malts, interwoven with classic weizen yeast esters of banana and clove. Polish Marynka and Lubelski hops offer a muted herbal foundation, allowing the dark fruit notes of plum and raisin to shine. The addition of smoked barley malt provides a subtle, campfire-like nuance that complements the wood-derived vanilla and light bourbon character, finishing with a smooth, lingering malt sweetness.

Appearance. Deep dark ruby-brown with a very thick, long-lasting, light tan mousse-like head. The beer displays a characteristic haze from the high wheat content and yeast suspension.

Aroma. High malty richness with a significant bready and grainy wheat character. Medium-high esters of banana and spicy clove are prominent, supported by notes of plum and raisin. Distinctive vanilla and toasted wood accents from the oak flakes are present, alongside a very low, clean smoke character from the smoked malt.

Taste. Initial impression is richly malty and bready with deep caramel and Maillard-driven toastiness. The wheat contributes a soft graininess, while yeast-derived banana and clove flavors are well-integrated. Low bitterness from Lubelski hops allows for a slightly sweet, dark fruit-forward palate featuring prunes and raisins. The finish is smooth and clean, with a gentle oaky dryness and a faint hint of smoke.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a soft, creamy, and fluffy texture. High carbonation provides a refreshing lift, accompanied by a moderate, well-integrated alcohol warmth.
