(Harrisburg, PA) - Tröegs has a Facebook update about their Scratch Beer #57. This one is a Weizenbock, and the release date was today (Tuesday, February 7th). They did add a twist on the normal Weizenbock style. In doing so, they made this one into a Chocolate Berry Weizenbock. More details below...
From the Tröegs Facebook post:
SCRATCH 57-2012 – WEIZENBOCK
RELEASE DATE: 2/7/12
Scratch #57 is brewed with two cocoa powder varieties and two kinds of berries to create a tart twist on a classic German style. Unfiltered and carbonated to a near-champagne finish, the beer is 7.9% ABV.
Fermented in our open-top fermentation room, the yeast gives hints of pepper and clove designed to complement the fruit flavors.
The cocoa powders add bitterness and some mouthfeel; the boysenberries and raspberries provide a tart, dry finish and the vanilla yields a subtle, sweet finish to the beer.
Now on tap and available in bottles!
