On tap at Morris Tap & Grill, complex weizenbock aged in whiskey barrels picks up leathery oaken tannins to redirect brown-sugared dried fruiting and caramel-spiced toffee malting. Chewy raisin-prune-fig tenacity, sweet banana breading and molasses-caked spicing flourish beyond dewy whiskey tones.

DOGFISH HEAD CAROBOCK
On tap at Cloverleaf, hybridized weizenbock/ brown ale (8% ABV) lets subtle floury carob pod influence get aged on Madagascar vanilla beans above mildly creamed caramel malting. Bittersweet chocolate-vanilla conflux stays moderate as distant Bailey’s Irish Cream Coffee, Irish whiskey, cacao nibs, earthen truffle and plummy raisin illusions dry out at the chalky mocha finish.
CENTRAL WATERS DE KLEINE DOOD
Completely relaxing bourbon-barreled weizenbock blends seductive Jim Beam whiskey sweetness into mellow Cognac warmth, picking up vanilla-creamed sugaring as well as bruised cherry, purple grape, orange marmalade, sugarplum and fig illusions. Subtle marshmallow, pecan, cocoa and praline undertones recede to liqueur-like alcohol kick that punctuates sweet bourbon imprint.
