Raschhofer Weizen Dunkel

◎ Aussehen

Chestnut brown with a warm red undertone, holding beneath a dense chamois-coloured head. The beer displays good clarity with fine, persistent carbonation that forms a delicate lace on the glass. Head retention and foam structure are notably stable, characteristic of a naturally carbonated wheat beer.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced dark dried fruit—particularly Kletzen (pear leather) and plum—alongside subtle spice notes of clove and gentle phenolics from the weizen yeast. A whisper of rum warmth and cocoa powder rounds the bouquet, creating an opulent yet balanced aromatic profile without harsh alcohol notes.

◐ Geschmack

Soft entry with refined sweetness from the wheat base, evolving into layered dark fruit and a gentle dark chocolate mid-palate. Fine acidity runs through the beer, keeping it lively and preventing any cloying sensation. Subtle banana and rum notes emerge beneath the chocolate, while the malz backbone provides structure without heaviness.

◑ Abgang

The finish is crisp and lingering, with dried fruit and chocolate notes fading slowly into a clean, subtly dry aftertaste. The natural carbonation ensures the beer remains refreshing through the complete drinking experience.
