Introducing Shadow of the Dog, a captivating Weissbier-Dunkelweizen from the renowned Yeastie Boys. This German-style brew is a true delight, pouring a dark mahogany with a creamy tan head that invites you in. The aroma and flavor profile are a delicate medley of autumnal fruit and spice, with notes of plum, cherry, and fig dancing alongside the classic banana and clove characteristics of the German wheat beer yeast. The complex malt bill lends a bready, roasty depth that is perfectly balanced by the lightness of the wheat, creating a surprisingly refreshing and effervescent experience. As the darker, more decadent notes give way to a cleansing, tart finish, you'll be captivated by the juxtaposition of flavors in this truly sessionable winter ale. Darker bready malts and light roast notes interplay seamlessly, making Shadow of the Dog a must-try for any beer enthusiast.
