Weizendoppelbock ✅️

Goblet @home. Yanni says it's two years old. Dark, clear but jellied, ruby brown, oatmeal head. Molasses, sharp wheat, umami. Semi-sweet, maple, some refreshing tartness, hidden acidity, wheaty middle, pepper, tea, intricate mellowness. Not as I remember, but good. Notes from 5/9/2008. Had a pour of this at Jacob Wirth's in Boston my last time out. The tap ran dry the last time I was here, so I jumped on it this time. $9 for a drop into the official half liter glass. My lunch in comparison, was only $7.50. :o Big frothy head spilling all over the bar, but it settles just on the line. Nice recovery. Served a little cold & fidgety, it tossed around for a little while & settled on just being plain old brown & cloudy. Big yeasty caramel nose, with very pungent clove & bread crust right in the center of things. Almost like someone making bread pudding for the first time. :P Big splash of alcohol concentrating at the end. Taste was a little disappointing. Very, very bready, lazy & abusive banana/clove esters & a karate throat chop full of alcohol. Positives were the peppery spiciness, some caramel, & the pruny & acidic end that gets soaked up on a toasted finish. Flour-like texture(though strong carbonation), but really too messy with the alcohol. I enjoyed the taste, but didn't really enjoy swallowing it. Nine dollars can buy me a really mean LI iced tea. Just saying. :D

Hazy brown color with white head. Wheat, spices, caramel, banana, prune aromas. Light sweetness. Average to full body with bit alcoholic finnish.

Weizendoppelbock ✅ Bocks can be a bit hit or miss for me, sometimes the flavor is overpowering. This is really nice - it has the bock characteristics but the wheat adds a nice flavor and balances it out.
