Germany·Weizenbock
Tap to rate

Nutty malt aromas and a fruity note in the nose mark this amber, top-fermented Dinkel-Weizenbock with 7.1% ABV, which the brewery describes as a strong wheat beer brewed from spelt, an ancient grain. Spelt malt gives the body its character, with Pilsner malt, wheat malt and Cara Münch completing the malt bill. A creamy, fine-pored head and an elegant, lively start round it off.
