Wimitz Oak Aged Imperial Pils

◎ Aussehen

Honey-gold in color, presenting excellent clarity with a fine, persistent white head that clings to the glass. Carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, creating a delicate visual presence befitting an Imperial Pilsner of restrained elegance.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with distinct oak and whiskey barrel notes, complemented by a soft honey sweetness and subtle berry undertones. The wood character is pronounced yet balanced, revealing hints of vanilla and toasted grain beneath the dominant cooperage influence.

◐ Geschmack

The palate enters light and crisp before gradually building into a full-bodied presence on the mid-palate. The honey and malt foundation provides sweetness while restrained bitterness (35 IBU) remains well-integrated; the oak and whiskey character intensifies through the center, with a subtle almond and nutty complexity emerging alongside the alcohol warmth.

◑ Abgang

The finish is marked by a distinct whiskey and oak character that lingers persistently, with almond and subtle caramel notes trailing into a clean, warming aftertaste. The alcohol presence (8.5% ABV) is felt as gentle heat rather than harsh bite.
