SCHILLING Wolfgang Weizenbock

Wolfgang Weizenbock, crafted by SCHILLING in the heart of New Hampshire, is an intriguing interpretation of a Weizenbock, a style known for its robust flavor and complexity. With an ABV of 8.0% and an IBU of 25, this beer artfully marries the malty depth of a traditional bock with the distinctive fruit and spice notes of a wheat beer. It pours with a rich, deep color that hints at the layered flavors within, making it a notable departure from more conventional German wheat styles. Expect a tapestry of flavors that are both comforting and invigorating. The malt profile provides a sturdy backbone, offering a touch of sweet caramel and breadiness. This is expertly balanced by the wheat beer's signature banana and clove nuances, which lend a fruity and slightly spicy character. The moderate bitterness rounds out the taste, ensuring a smooth and well-balanced finish that invites another sip. For the ideal drinking experience, serve Wolfgang Weizenbock at a cool 45 to 50 degrees Fahrenheit. This temperature allows its complex flavors to fully unfold without overwhelming the palate. A Weizenbier glass, with its tall, curvaceous shape, is the optimal choice to showcase the beer’s rich color while enhancing its aromatic profile. When it comes to pairing, Wolfgang Weizenbock complements a range of dishes beautifully. Its maltiness pairs well with hearty fare like roasted pork or a savory sausage platter. The fruity and spicy notes also make it a delightful match for grilled chicken with a citrus glaze or even a slice of spiced apple cake. Whether savored on its own or alongside a thoughtfully curated meal, Wolfgang Weizenbock offers an authentic taste of a storied style, reimagined with a regional twist.
