Mönchsambacher Weizenbock

The wheat beer itself is a stunner: a beguiling aroma of freshly baked yeast plait, brown speckled ripe bananas and Christmas cloves meets a wonderfully creamy mouthfeel and a strong taste of grain, banana, warm spices and yeast However, some brewers take wheat beer to the extreme by making a Weizenbock out of it

A particularly tasty and harmonious Weizenbock comes from the tranquil village of Mönchsambach The Zehendner brewery has been brewing delicious beer here for almost a century and no longer just supplies Franconians with it One of its most popular creations is its Weizen-Bock The down-to-earth strong beer brings a full 7,0 % alcohol content in the glass, where it presents itself in a grain gold color interspersed with veils of yeast. The aroma of freshly baked banana bread rises from the stately crown and combines with clove and yeast, while hints of grassy hops, herbs, vanilla and white pepper give the beer that certain something extra and make you look forward to the first sip: Notes of yeast dough rising in the sun, grain and sweet banana ensnare the palate Gradually, clove, citrus zest, woody herbal notes and grass join in Alongside the soft sweetness, Mönchsambacher Weizen-Bock presents an elegant acidity as well as a harmonious bitterness

A masterful bock beer!
