Jacob Dunkles Weissbier

◎ Aussehen

Deep amber to brown in the glass, with the characteristic haze of a traditional Dunkelweizen brewed with its own yeast. A strong, fine-pored head forms and clings persistently to the glass, leaving delicate lacing on each sip. Carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, supporting the creamy visual impression.

◌ Aroma

Malt-forward on the nose, with pronounced notes of bread crust and baked grain from the weizen's characteristic yeast. Spicy phenolic notes—clove and white pepper—emerge distinctly, accompanied by subtle fruity esters reminiscent of ripe banana. The local spring water and house yeast create an earthy, slightly grainy backdrop that anchors the aromatic profile.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens soft and wheat-forward, with a creamy mouthfeel that carries flavors of yeast, grain, and subtle spice through the mid-palate. Clove and banana notes weave through smoothly, never sharp, balanced by gentle malt sweetness. Low bitterness (15 IBU) allows the yeasty and spicy character to dominate, finishing with a clean, grain-driven quality that invites the next sip.

◑ Abgang

The finish is clean and medium in length, with lingering notes of clove and bread that fade gently into a faint peppery warmth. No harsh drying or astringency—instead, a pleasant, grainy sweetness persists on the palate.
