| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Mar 28, 2008 Dark brown with a nice beige head. Aroma of dark malts, wheat, a little salty soy, and a super light amount of spice. More dopplebock than weizen bock to me anyways. Dark malts manifest them in semi sweet chocolate, fruit, salty soy, and bread with light spicy yeast in the finish. Finishes rather clean really, and is very easy to drink. An enjoyable brew.

Fruity- apples, I think - and rum, plus a little cherry in the aroma. Flavor is rye-ish, plus some fruit and some subtle chocolate, as well. Nuffield (2724), Roseville, Minnesota, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jul 16, 2006 Clear brown with reddish hues, low head production. Caramel, toast, and chocolate aromas; tingling carbonation but a sense of being a little thin (though there is some sweet stickiness that makes this effect moderate if anything); decent flavors up front, including a strong banana streak, with notes of alcohol, leather, and burnt sugar (as when cooking) in the end. Not bad. I’m glad I shared the bomber with my mother-in-law; I wouldn’t have wanted the whole thing. IrishBoy (2716), Bakersfield, California, USA

Not near as good as Valley Brew Effingud (favorite Weisen Bock), but very decent and tasty! Beershine (2710), Where Climate Suits My Clothes, Vietnam

Palate is silky and gorgeous, not too thick not too thin. Very drinkable. Smell is smoky and chalky. Flavors are rich, malty, raisin, prune with some lingering delicate malt sweetness. Very nice! Re-rate = up from 3.8! michael-pollack (2707), King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, USA

Thick, viscous texture. Lively carbonation. Long, sweet finish. Overall, a good, strong brew. Storm (2685), Amager, Denmark

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Aug 11, 2006 (Bottle, Oliver Twist, Stockholm, 10 Aug) Colour is very dark brown with ruby notes, short off-white head. Nose is fruity and spicy with dried fruit (figs, raisins?), chocolate and cherries (a bit like a Belgian dubbel actually). Taste is fruity with lots of dried fruit (a distinct hint of dates), prunes, marzipan, dark rye bread and wild berries. Slightly sweet, smooth finish with some wheat character. Complex but in great balance. Lots of personality and very nice indeed.
