La Pirata Brewing Balena Bonica

Balena Bonica is a powerful Weizenbock that masterfully bridges the gap between a refreshing wheat beer and a robust Doppelbock. It greets the senses with an intense malty richness derived from a heavy use of Munich and wheat malts, offering deep notes of toasted bread and Maillard complexity. The fermentation profile, a collaboration between La Pirata and Delftse Brouwers, displays classic yeast-driven esters of ripe banana and spicy clove. At 8.5% ABV, a smooth alcohol warmth emerges, complemented by dark fruit nuances of plum and raisin, resulting in a complex, creamy, and deeply satisfying sensory experience with a refined, lingering finish.
