Unertl Weißer Bock

Brauerei Unertl Haag
Tap to rate
🌍 Germany · Weizenbock · One of 17 Weizenbocks in hopIQ

A seasonal wheat bock at 6.7 percent that the brewery describes as smooth, dark and powerful and brews for festive occasions. It pours a deep amber with a beige head that fades fairly quickly. The nose is led by overripe banana, with pancake batter, caramel and a light clove spice. On the palate banana stays in front, joined by malt sweetness, a touch of milk chocolate and caramel. The body is medium for a bock and the lively carbonation keeps it fresh; the finish is creamy and sweet with a light bitterness and a noticeable warmth.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Unertl Weißer Bock

Appearance

A deep amber pour with excellent color saturation typical of the Weizenbock style. The beige head forms generously but subsides relatively quickly, leaving minimal lacing on the glass. The body shows good clarity with a lively carbonation evident throughout.

deep amberbeige headmedium claritywell-carbonated

Aroma

The nose is immediately dominated by overripe banana notes characteristic of weizen yeast esters. Secondary aromas of pancake batter and caramel provide a sweet, bready backdrop, while a restrained clove spice adds complexity without overpowering the fruit-forward profile.

Taste

Banana leads the palate entry, sustained by substantial malt sweetness and a touch of milk chocolate that rounds the mid-palate. The medium body carries the flavors smoothly without heaviness, and a whisper of caramel lingering beneath accentuates the wheat-derived softness throughout the drinking experience.

Finish

The finish is creamy and sweet with a light bitterness that prevents cloying, followed by a noticeable warming alcohol presence. The aftertaste remains mellow, with residual caramel and banana fading gradually.
