Weizenbock

Tasting Notes

Weizenbock is stronger and more robust than dunkel weizen. The phenolic character is still evident in weizenbock, but more emphasis is placed on the malt character of the beer. Weizenbocks are usually more liberally hopped than the paler weizenbiers.

Brewing Techniques

A double- and even a triple-decoction mash is usually employed. Fermentation times are longer than for the paler Weizenbiers. Weizenbock is traditionally bottle-conditioned in the same manner as other weizenbiers and will benefit from a long (6-8 weeks) maturation period.
