b33r (363), Cleveland, Ohio, USA Sep 20, 2007 Aged one year. Dark brown/amber color with big frothy tan head and beautiful lacing. I smelled bananas immediately after opening, which faded to a weak malty and spicy aroma. Dominant malt flavor, with nice sweetness and light fruits. Complex, full-bodied and delicious RSRIZZO (1345), Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA Sep 16, 2007 Had this beer on 6/2/2006. Aroma is a mild sweet malt scent. Color is a deep solid brown with good carbonation and thick tight head. Taste is rich and sweet. Starting with a medium body it goes down sweet with a rich feel. Finish comes on with the rich feel building and ending with a rich sweet caramel taste and a hint of bitterness. Great brew and an excellent Anniversary Ale. Its almost a Barley Wine. Buddahchild (28), Littleton, Colorado, USA Sep 8, 2007 Wow a big weizen doppelbock, dark mahogany color, lace. Aroma of coffe, pepper, and bitter choc. med to full body with flavors of dark fruits, banana with chocolate, licorice, and stong alcohol.

fine brown head swirls up nicely to leave a bit of lace that slides back down the glass and the head gets wispy, rich chocolate flavor with a nice peppery character, no change from the original thimble

cbeers21 (563), Miami, Florida, USA Aug 29, 2007 Poured deep chestnut with opaque black colors. The brew opens with a controlled and sturdy malt presence but evolves into different and complex flavors Overall nice brew. IrishBoy (2685), Bakersfield, California, USA Aug 27, 2007 Bomber from cbkschubert; Nose of licorice, caramel, and a molasses hint; clear dark cherry-brown with a medium cinnamon-tan, glass-lacing head; flavor of caramel, peppery spices, brown sugar, and molasses. Not near as good as Valley Brew Effingud (favorite Weisen Bock), but very decent and tasty!
