Beer Review: Troegs Scratch Beer 57 (Weizenbock)

Serving Type: Draft

ABV: 7.9 percent

Appearance: Scratch Beer 57 is a very dark shade of red. Can also be a very light shade of brown, depending on your mood. It's very foggy and hazy. The head is surprisingly white as a sheet of paper, given the beer's body.

Smell: A lot of cocoa enters the nose upon wafting this beer. With that comes a great bit of fruits, mostly berries from what I could tell.

Taste: Not much different from the smell. The berries taste very tart and are quite strong on the tongue. The chocolate makes its way in on the back. My tongue was a bit confused.

Overall Rating:  

This beer wasn't bad, just different. The mix of tart berries and cocoa just had my taste buds confused. I'm very interested in trying as many of the Troegs Scratch series as possible in the future.
