Benediktiner Weissbier Dunkel

◎ Appearance

A chestnut-brown hue with a lightly cloudy suspension through the yeast, creating a soft and inviting visual presence. The head forms with moderate density and displays fine Schaumhaftung down the glass. Fine carbonation supports a gently effervescent character throughout.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with warm caramel-sweet malt and roasted chestnut notes, underlaid by subtle toasted grain. Gentle herbal undertones of sage and wormwood emerge from the soft Edelhopfen base, with a whisper of banana esters typical of the weizen yeast.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with intense malty sweetness balanced by a refreshing tartness, creating a full yet lively mouthfeel. Roasted grain and caramel notes develop through the mid-palate, while a delicate hop bitterness with sage and wormwood character gradually builds. The finish fades slowly with lingering malt sweetness and a subtle herbal dryness.

◑ Finish

A slow, gently drying fade with persistent caramel malt and a touch of herbal wormwood. The aftertaste remains soft and balanced, without sharp edges.
