Maroon color. Aromas and flavors of butterscotch dipped banana, rum raisin, and plum syrup with a velvety, lively, spritzy, fruity medium body and an engaging, medium-length finish revealing notes of plum sauce, rum raisin cake, fruit cake, and toffee. Rich and complex with lots of concentrated fruit notes make it a tasty draught.

Weizen Bock

Beer Glass Hefeweizen Dark.jpg
Serve in a Weissbier Glass
Weizen bocks are pale gold to dark brown in color and range in alcohol from 6.5-8.5%. These beers combine the character of hefeweizens and dopplebocks and are rich and malty with estery, yeasty qualities. These brews also show a note of wheaty crispness through the finish. Weizen bocks are essentially winter wheat beers, originally brewed in Bavaria. Noteworthy example of this style include: Schneider Aventinus, Hacker-Pschorr Weisse Bock and Urban Chestnut Maximilian.
