Loncium Dunkler Weizenbock

◎ Aussehen

Deep amber to dark brown hue with cloudy, unfiltered character from suspended yeast—a defining trait of the style. A dense, creamy head forms and clings persistently to the glass, displaying fine Schaumkleiden that taper slowly. The body is full and visibly substantial, with gentle carbonation barely evident.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced ripe banana esters characteristic of wheat beer fermentation, layered with spicy clove and subtle herbal complexity. Sherry-like oxidative notes add depth and a hint of dried fruit, while a restrained noble hop presence underscores without dominating. Warm, inviting, and free from harshness.

◐ Geschmack

Soft entry reveals caramel sweetness and full body that carries through the mid-palate with fruity, yeasty character balancing the residual malt sweetness. At 6.8% ABV, warmth emerges gradually and integrates naturally into the flavor matrix. Bitterness remains very mild at 18 IBU, allowing malt and fruit to dominate; a gentle hop finish adds structure without aggression.

◑ Abgang

The finish is soft and lingering, with clove and yeast notes persisting pleasantly alongside fading caramel. A subtle drying sensation emerges from the restrained hop bitterness, leading to a balanced, clean conclusion.
