Allgäuer Stifts-Weizenbock

Brewed by Allgäuer Brauhaus (Oetker Group)
Style: Weizen Bock
Kempten, Germany

Pours a hazy-cloudy dark amber colour into the glass. The head is off-white and big, but disapperas quite quickly. It has a big wheaty smell with hints of yeast and citrus. The taste is mild and a bit tangy. The taste is also a bit fruity and hints of wheat and citrus. On the beer bottle it says ABV 7.2% but it doesn’t taste strong and there’s no hints of alcohol.

Head is initially average sized, fizzy, off-white, mostly lasting. Body is hazy medium amber, dense tiny particles, bottle conditioned. Aroma is moderately malty (caramel, light bread), moderately yeasty (barnyard, dough), with notes of clove, banana, lemon, toffee, cherry, and cask wood. Flavor is heavily acidic, moderately sweet. Finish is lightly sweet, moderately acidic, lightly bitter. Light to medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. Odd one here...has some lambic or Flanders red qualities (very sour with oaky, fruity, and barnyard scents), but for me the ’bock’ half of this brew doesn’t really show itself enough.

Spicy, clovey nose with a slight alcohol tinge; hazy pale copper color; fizzy and foamy head. Rather dark for a hefeweizen. Some vanilla and orange/citrus flavors. The yeast component is Belgian-like. End end is spicy and clovey. Creamy, smooth and well-balanced. I quite enjoyed this and would recommend it.

Hazy brown orange color, little head. Kind of sweet - vanilla and banana - but there were some weird untertones in the taste.

the bubbles were dancing like snowflakes falling in the wrong direction...an upside down festive christmas...the skies were covered in inch thick beige snow and underneath lay a light golden amber ground...sugary morning cereal aromas lift from the glass and a faint hint of champagne grapes lingers in the background...smokey flavors rejoice around tart grapes..the grapes take over into the finish and bring tartness to the party.

Peach-amber color with a crisp head. This is a wheaty beer in aroma and flavor--but the malt and bock characteristics seem absent. Woodiness and dominant spicing (coriander?) round out the attributes as well as a tinge of rauchbier like smokiness and saison like farmhouse flavors.

Cloudy orange rust. Very funky aroma, with scents of tobacco leaves, horseblanket, green raisins...very yeasty...light barnyard, dough. Enjoyable nose for sure. Flavor is fatty and lip coating, lightly vinous and full of sour fruit flavors and leathery malts. Lightly thin mouth. Very earthy and delicious.

Poured a nice orange, Lots of floaties. Malty, with Spicy citrus flavors, smoky aftertaste. I enjoyed this one.
