Aretinus Weizendoppelbock

◎ Aussehen

Deep chestnut-red hue with excellent clarity and a dense, off-white head that clings persistently to the glass. Fine carbonation produces a gentle fizz beneath the surface. The color reflects the balance of wheat and dark barley malts, inviting further inspection.

◌ Aroma

The nose unfolds best at 9–10 °C, revealing prominent overripe banana and apricot alongside darker plum notes. Beneath the fruit lies a subtle caramel sweetness and warming alcohol undertones from the 8% ABV. Wheat and yeast character frame the composition without dominating.

◐ Geschmack

Full-bodied and malty on entry, with overripe banana and rum-soaked dark fruit flooding the palate. Caramel and wheat contribute roundness and gentle sweetness; the Hallertau Perle and Herkules hops add restraint with just 20 IBU, allowing malt character to lead. Slight yeasty spice emerges mid-palate.

◑ Abgang

The finish is moderately long, with banana and plum lingering softly alongside residual caramel and a faint alcoholic warmth. A trace of yeasty phenol fades into the aftertaste without harshness.
