Style Of The Week 27/2/08 - Weizenbock

[MaestroMatt]

Looking to brew a Weizenbock this weekend and wanted seek peoples impressions on using Dark Wheat over plain Pale Wheat...

Anyone have an opinion on either? How did it affect the flavour profile?

My recipe is pretty much Jamil's Brewing Classic Styles Weizenbock recipe word for word.

I've done this beer style before. BIAB. Using a recipe from Anthony at Craftbrewer. It used the dark wheat instead of pale. All the guys that had a sample of the AG beer thought that it tasted great. One even compared it to Aventinus - he was prob on his his third glass by that stage of an 8% beer though :icon_cheers:
