Weihenstephaner Vitus
A light-colored, spicy single-bock wheat beer, for both beer loves and the beer connoisseur. Extra long and cold storage in our monastery cellars makes this single-bock a really special beer with full body and a distinctively great mouthfeel. Prost!

Our Thoughts
Today we have "Weihenstephaner Vitus" which is a South German-Style Weizenbock Weissbock that could be compared to a Very strong Scottish Ale. At a ABV rating of 7.7 this beer hits you like a kick in the face, so watch yourself! This is a beer for those who are tired of light lagers and want something with a little bit of a kick. You will still find a nice crisp taste but a higher IBU profile makes for a great drink.
South German-Style Weizenbock Weissbock
This style can be either pale or dark golden to dark brown in color and has a high starting gravity and alcohol content. The malty sweetness of a Weizenbock is balanced with a clove-like phenolic and fruity-estery banana element to produce a wellrounded aroma and flavor. As is true with all German wheat beers, hop bitterness is low and carbonation is high. Hop flavor and aroma are absent. It has a medium to full body. If dark, a mild roast malt character should emerge in flavor and to a lesser degree in the aroma. If this is served with yeast the beer may be appropriately very cloudy. No diacetyl should be perceived.
