jredmond (1015), New Jersey, USA Mar 11, 2009 Bottle. Retired ayy? LET DOWN. Pours a dark brown body. Aroma is strong alcohol. Taste is same. Pwn3d (1036), Manhattan, New York, USA Mar 10, 2009 750ml bottle purchased at new beer. Pours dark brown with ruby hint. Dry, toffee, cocoa, but not bready/clovey enough for a weizen bock IMO. Overall, nothing really interests me which was disappointing. Tastes overly boozy. Aventinus takes its brass one and absolutely shames this sucker. douglas88 (1556), Salt Lake City, Utah, USA Mar 5, 2009 Bomber thanks to dchmela. Pours a dark ruby hue with a medium brown head. The aroma is fruity, lots of fruity German malts. Reminds me a bit of Celebrator Dopple, and that’s a good thing. The flavor is fairly fry, dusty, lots of sweet fruits, prunes, berries, strawberry, a huge malty aspect washes over it all. Bready and yeasty. Very little alcohol warmth. A very nice powerful lager. Very enjoyable. danielcurtis81 (879), San Diego, California, USA Feb 16, 2009 Found some old notes. (7/14/07). Bottle. Poured a deep brown with a brown head. Nose is very malty with some caramel. Flavors of malt, dried fruit, and caramel. Pretty good.
Rciesla (3500), Exit 15W, New Jersey, USA Feb 4, 2009 Bottle. Pours a mahogany brown body with an off white head. Sweet malty with a nice roasty coffee backbone. Toffee, caramel and coco. Lighter spices and dark fruity esters, wheat and light grain. jkwalking05 (1483), Arlington, Texas, USA Jan 31, 2009 Dark brown with nice head and good ruby highlights. Smell is nice. Taste has wheat characteristics some toffee flavors. The maltiness sweetness from the bock also really shine through.
hapjydeuce (763), Del Mar, California, USA Jan 29, 2009 Bottle, shared by jarspag with Maheu and myself during the January ski trip to Mammoth. This one has a ruby maroon color with a medium tan head. Interesting aroma that is dry, fruity and roasty with a bit of a metallic astringency. Flavor is mostly plum, raisin, and toffee, finishing with caramel malt sweetness and a light roast. Pretty good with a few years on it, wish I could have tried it fresh. drjay44 (757), Salida, Colorado, USA Jan 27, 2009 22 oz bottle....Pours a thinnish dark head, over a dark brown body.....nose of bready malt layers, with additional fruits.....tastes of many fruits and malts with hop presence. Mouthfeel excellent. These comment are from notes of a tasting done in August 2006.
