Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Dolden Bock
◎ Appearance
Deep chestnut-brown pour beneath a creamy, persistent head with fine lacing. The unfiltered character yields a subtle haze that frames the substantial malt backbone. Carbonation appears moderate, supporting the dense foam structure typical of the Weizenbock style.
◌ Aroma
The nose leads with ripe banana and dried apricot, hallmarks of the wheat yeast fermentation. Behind these fruit esters sit floral and herbal notes from the regional organic hops, grounded by subtle sweetness from the richly loaded malt bill. The aromatic profile strikes a balance between yeast-driven fruit and noble hop character.
◐ Taste
Entry is smooth and lightly sweet, the wheat and barley malt foundation delivering fullness without heaviness. Mid-palate layers in pleasant bitterness from the Edelhopfen, which plays counterpoint to the fruit-forward yeast character without dominating. The finish balances residual sweetness against a clean, moderately bitter close.
◑ Finish
Medium-length finish with lingering fruit and a dry, bitter fade. The aftertaste remains clean and drying, allowing the organic hop bitterness to assert itself as the sweetness retreats.
