Weiherer Bock

🌍 Germany · Bock · One of 28 Bocks in hopIQ

Weiherer has been brewing in Franconia since 1784, and their Bock is a masterclass in the style's malty warmth. Rich golden-amber pour with a full, almost creamy body — dark bread, honey, and subtle caramel malt lead, while the 25 IBU sits quietly in the background. Smooth and gently warming, it's the beer to reach for when you want comfort without heaviness.

Taste

Sweet, malty entry with pronounced caramel and bread flavors building through the mid-palate, supported by the beer's natural fullness. Restrained bitterness (25 IBU) sits well in the background, allowing the malt sweetness to dominate while maintaining balance. The finish carries lingering warmth without harshness.
