Erdinger Pikantus impresses with its dark chocolate color, indicating a stimulating richness of aromas. This wheat bock reveals a malt-forward, rounded body in the mouth with notes of plum, dark chocolate, and licorice. The sparkling carbonation provides a refreshing counterpoint and gives the beer a velvety-smooth character that lingers on the palate. As an aperitif, Pikantus is a wonderful start to a festive meal.
