It came out awesome, IMHO! Several friends that have been brewing for years really liked it and are now trying the recipe as well. It was good from the start but after several months in the bottle, it has gotten really smooth and tasty. Even with the extra malt, it doesn't seem to malty. Would you call this a dunkel-weizen-bock? Enjoy!

Ingredients:

6 lbs. Northwestern wheat (50/50) malt extract
3.3 lbs. Northwestern gold malt extract
1/4 lb. Roasted barley
1/4 lb. chocolate malt

1/4 oz. Hallertauer hops (4.6%) (@2 minutes)
1/2 tsp. Irish Moss (@10 minutes)
