Chrilles Mystery Beer

My father got an untagged bottle of beer from his brewing friend Chrille. We didn’t know anything about the beer so it was pretty exciting opening and seeing the hazy amber liquid pour out.






It smelled a bit fruity and sweet with some hints of banana. So my first thought was dunkel weissbier. The taste was a bit weak with hints of smoked ham. Was pretty nice and I hope I was right about the beer type. Maybe Chrille can confirm?
Total: 3/5

  1. Hi!
    It was a personal version of a Weizenbock. Wheatmalt, pilsnermalt and carahell is the malt base and its 7,1 % alc.

  2. Aha, very tricky. Well at least we got the wheat part right. Gotta admit I didn't expect 7,1% on that one. The alcohol was well hidden :)

  4. Stefan: I now, its a special brew. The thing is that I boiled it in a boiler i never used before, so I calculated the boil off wrong. So when I measured it and discovered that it was to strong I didnt had the time to calculate how much water I needed to make it right, so it ended upp strong.
    But it was a cool experiment!
