Scratch #174 represents our take on the Weizenbock, an artful union of three different beer styles: the Hefeweizen, Dunkelweizen, and Bock. Traditionally, Weizenbocks are thicker, stronger, and often darker than typical wheat beers, yet they maintain some of the refreshing characteristics most wheat beers exhibit. The combination of wheat and barley-based malts elicits complex notes of toasted grains and fresh baked bread, while the darker malts suggest stone fruit, vanilla, molasses, and caramel. Despite its chewy, robust mouthfeel, Scratch #174 delivers a rich, satisfying finish. With the subzero temperatures we’ve been experiencing recently, it will thaw you from the inside out and leave you feeling warm and tingly!

Thanks BA wishuwerebeer for the growler share. Pours a clear mahogany color with a khaki head that fades leaving spotty lace.
The smell is sweet with a hint of clove-like spice and some bready malt backbone blending to raisons and fruity alcohol.
The taste is sweet with grain quality imparting a flavor like bread before a bit of clove spice and chocolate aftertaste. Like the nose, raison flavors are present as well as lots of toffee.
This is medium bodied and modestly carbonated. Overall not bad, but really not that good either. Very different from any weizenbock I had before. I think you could make nearly the same beer at home by just blending troegenator with dreamweaver.
