Oct 2, 2006 Bottled.
Very dark ruby color, good big foamy tan head. Light banana esters, licorice and alcohol in the nose. Lightly roasted, fruity (banana esters), some alcohol but suprisingly light for this ABV, tasty, easy to drink. Sweeter than German ones, maybe because of hopping?

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.

Dec 23, 2006 Near opaque black with a white head. Very smooth and tasteful, a fine bitterness and clear German style with some German yeast. Lots of caramel and some chocolate malt but not sweet and gladly not hopped up. Refreshing. A fine piece of craftmanship from Avery.

Jul 4, 2006 This bottle was provided to me by BeerandBlues2. Poured into my glass with a dark, mostly opaque brown color with some purple highlights. Ample light brown head formed, but left behind no lace. The aroma was chocolate cover raisins, with some cherry, and smoke complexity. The flavor was mostly the same. There was also some tobaco character in the flavor. The palate was fluffy, and full. Rolled nicely from the front to back. Long alcohol finish.

Jul 23, 2006 Deep and dark ruby with a lush, then receding, tan head. Bready aromas are accented with molasses and plum, peach, spice notes. Astringent on the palate, with a burn of alcohol and a slick mouthfeel. Dry finish, too, but there is a fruit and grain sweetness that accents the beer nicely. Flavors are like a sticky pudding: dates, plum, wheat and molasses. Happy anniversary to the folks at Avery!

Jul 20, 2006 22oz bomber from Canals in Marlton, NJ. Hazy deep chestnut under a very tall tan head with a thin curtain of lacing. Malty aroma with banana esters, clove, caramel and a hint of smoke. Well-balanced flavors of fresh baked biscuits, toffee, more banana and mild hops atop a roasted and round malt center. Smooth and sweet finish and creamy mouthfeel with lively carbonation. A very tasty and refreshing brew that would make a great addition to Avery’s regular lineup.

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!
