A weizenbock from G. Schneider & Sohn, Kelheim, Germany. 

This top-fermenting wheat-based dopplebock was Georg Schneider's creative response to bottom-fermenting doppel-bocks such as Salvator, Kulminator and Animator that developed a strong following during the early 1900’s.   The genius of this beer is the balance of two complex layers of flavors - the fruity spiciness brought in by the top-fermenting yeast and the notes of chocolate created by the use of crystal and dark malts.  A world classic.
