Apr 17, 2008 On tap at the brewery. An awesome weizenbock - their take of Aventinus. It is very close in flavor - chocolaty, bananas, spice and alcohol. Probably what Aventinus would taste like fresh.

Aug 5, 2005 RBSG 05. Very well made weizenbock. Lots of traditional yeast aromas like clove and hints of banana and other fruits. Flavor of fruits yeast, phenols, a hint of vanilla in the end. A good amount of wheat and yeast make this fairly smooth on the palate.

Jul 28, 2005 Deep brownish copper. Wheaty brown sugar nose, bananas, earthy and rooty chocolate. Nice fruitiness all throughout, this sure does respect the style like a textbook. Sweet and tart combination on the palate that goes from bananas to cane sugar and mellow estery profile. Pancakey sweetness may be a bit too much and the carbonation feels a bit low, perhaps the growler was not in ideal shape, because it also felt particularly light yet a bit sticky.

Orangy brown and clear with a tight ring and a very tiny little head. Bubblegum banana and sweet malt aroma. The flavour is sourish banana with bubblegum and phenolics. Very low bitterness. Light to medium body and moderate carbonation.

Jul 20, 2005 07.08.05 RBSG Brownish gold, little head. Graham cracker crusted banana pie with spices. Very yummy. Not the alcohol presence I hope for in the style.
