Weizenbock
Weizenbock is a German beer style that was introduced in 1907 by the Schneider Weisse Brauhaus brewery located in Munich. Weizenbock was supposed to be a middle-ground between the rich and malty doppelbock and wheat beer (weissbier) that was popular at the time.
The style comes in a pale and slightly darker version. Although both styles have a distinctive malt backbone, darker versions may have a richer malt profile and heavier toasty expressions with possible hints of caramel flavors and aromas of raisins and plums.
Lighter varieties will usually have light toastiness and sweeter malt character. The style will also often display nuances of cloves and banana-like esters. Darker weizenbock beers are a better match with red meat, game, lamb, and stews, while lighter versions will better work will poultry, pork, and sausages.
Both styles pair well with aged cheese and a variety of desserts.
