Weizen - Weizenbock Rotating Out of Production

ABV: 8.0%

IBU: 25

Ticks: 7

We were inspired to create our own iteration of a Bavarian-style Weizenbock, a style known for being rich and malty with notes of chocolate, bananas and toasted malt. Ours was styled to be a play on a 'chocolate covered banana,' so we selected toasted carob pods to provide intense, earthy chocolate flavors and rounded out by aging on Madagascar vanilla beans. Brewed with malted wheat, dark Munich malt and chocolate wheat, and fermented with a traditional weizen yeast to boost the banana and spice notes that typify the style.

Sampled on draft at Hugo's this beer poured a very dark brown color with a large foamy brown head that left a bit of lacing. The aroma was malty and sweetish with caramel and molasses. The flavor was toasty and malty with caramel, bread crust and a bit of pretzel. Long finish. Moderately full bodied and smooth.

Sampled from the tap at the brewery. Pours a very dark brown with a light brown head that dissipates slowly to the edges. Aroma has dark grains and vanilla with some earthy chocolate underlying. Flavor has a combination of milk chocolate and vanilla with sweet dark grains backing.

10oz snifter at the Dogfish Head Alehouse in Falls Church. Poured a very very dark brown color with a light tan head. Aroma has plenty of vanilla and cocoa. Taste has vanilla, cocoa powder, booze and some nutty notes to it. Lots of clove and banana comes through on this one. This one grew on me as I consumed it.
