Is this a doppelbock, or more of a weizenbock? Seems the later to me. But looks fine for it.
At Alexander Keith's we follow the recipes first developed by the great brewmaster to the absolute letter. :wtf:

I guess it did sort of turn out to be a weizenbock.

Actual OG: 1.084
My efficiency assumption was way off, I had to top up with some water. My initial OG reading after it cooled off was 1.14...oops

Imperial Weizen :headbang:
"Twenty years ago — a time, by the way, that hops such as Simcoe and Citra were already being developed, but weren’t about to find immediate popularity — there wasn’t a brewer on earth who would have gone to the annual Hop Growers of American convention and said, “I’m going to have a beer that we make 4,000 barrels of, one time a year. It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.
