Aug 21, 2007 Updated: Feb 9, 2008bottle. I’m glad I found this beer the other day at my local beer store... definitely wanted to try this before it’s gone for good. Aromas of sweet malts and licorice. Notes of coffee and caramel. Very sweet and tasty. A bit of alcohol at the back of the mouth. Good indeed.

Sep 20, 2006 Pours a dark brown that looks red in the thinner parts. Head formed well initially but dissipated quickly, while the lacing remained the entire time. Aroma was yeasty and raisiny, with a bit of a smokey malt quality. Flavor was similar, but a little roastier than the aroma suggested, with more dark rye bread flavors too. The carbonation was a tingly, but that’s how the wheat beers are it seems. It mellows over time. The mouthfull was plenty thick, about as much as a beer like this should be. Overall, I think the yeasty and spicy flavors were slightly too dominant, but this beer was still very nice.

Jun 16, 2006 22 oz. Bottle. Pours dark brown with red highlights and a slowly dissipating light tan head and creamy lacing. Nose of dark fruits, banana, and roast. The flavor is smooth and creamy with some banana and roast up front and a slight bitter bite for balance. You can also taste the alcohol. Very well made beer that will age gracefully

Oct 6, 2009 Bottle. Poured near black with a slight red tinge and a thin light brown head. Aroma has a strong alcohol sent with some smokey malt characters. Flavor also has a bit of a harsh alcohol flavor that overwhelms the malty flavor. It may be past its peak at this point.

Jul 28, 2006 This was an interesting beer. The color is quite dark for a weizenbock (more like a dunkelweizenbock). The aroma smells sweet, with a little wheat aroma, and some roasted flavors. The flavor is surprisingly "dark" tasting - interesting caramelized sugars, roasted bitter flavors - uncharacteristic of traditional weizenbock. It is quite malty sweet and not particularly wheaty tasting. The yeast also does not smell or taste like traditional weizen yeasts. A very intriguing beer - it was very good (though not what I expected from the style). It is also quite strong (though the alcohol is well hidden in the flavor).

Jun 3, 2006 22 oz. bottle. Bottled in 2006. A muddy mahogany pour with a thick, creamy mocha head. Rich aroma of wheat bread, raisins, bananas, peanut butter cups and cinnamon. Thick, full body. Alcohol is noticeable throughout. Unfortunately, there is also a sour taste (normally associated with brown ales and those that try to include nutty flavors) that is also present throughout. Otherwise, this beer features plenty of dark, wheaty malts, caramel, cocoa, cinnamon and spices, raisins and bananas. A slightly dry finish. If it weren’t for the sour, nutty taste, this would be a fantastic beer.

May 21, 2006 Updated: May 23, 2006 Pours brown with a short lasting off white head. Hints of banana, white wine, apple, toffee cloves and cocoa. Taste is dominated by the banana and toffee and has the other aspects hidden beneath. The palate has noticable alcohol but I like the way the toffee and banana combine together. Very impressive overall.

May 24, 2007 Bomber, pours a very dark ruby with off-white bubbles, lots of sweetness with dark malt aromas, aroma of a fruitcake made with raisins and prunes, fruit, roasted malt, dark bread, some chocolate fragrance, a touch of alcohol on the nose, syrupy sweet and a sticky feel in the mouth, taste of dark malt, some brown sugar, has some dark bread and wheat flavors but disappointing, the flavor does not follow the aromas, there is a dry finish but it starts out thick and creamy and kind of oily syrupy on the palate, can sense the alcohol in the sip, as this warms the alcohol monster takes over, unfortunately, the flavor did not live up to the aroma, this ‘13’ is very unlucky.
