Tanngnjostir und Tanngrisnir

◎ Appearance

Deep amber to copper-brown, reflecting the Weizenbock's malt-forward character and subtle smoked malt contribution. The head is substantial and persistent, with fine, well-integrated carbonation creating a creamy collar that clings to the glass. Clarity is slightly hazy, characteristic of the wheat beer yeast's natural cloudiness.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced ripe banana—a hallmark of the top-fermenting wheat yeast—layered beneath soft, bread-like malt sweetness. A gentle wisp of smoke emerges in the background, adding subtle complexity without dominating. Perle hops contribute a restrained, understated herbal and floral undertone.

◐ Taste

Full-bodied and voluptuous on entry, the palate is driven by wheat and barley malt sweetness with a creamy, almost silky texture. Banana and subtle smoke notes continue from the aroma, while the low bitterness (20 IBU) permits the malt profile to dominate without becoming cloying. The mouthfeel remains refined despite the substantial ABV and body.

◑ Finish

The finish is warm and lingering, with the smoke and wheat malt sweetness persisting gently on the palate. A mild dryness emerges late, providing gentle closure without harshness.
