Oct 13, 2006 Bottle. Murky brown, low head. Vineous and chocolaty aroma. Fruity, berrylike, estery, citrus, pine, clay. Medium body. Berry aftertaste. Nice but, nowhere neaer the complexity of a Aventinus.

Sep 11, 2006 LCRBM2: Banana and grapes in the almost vinous aroma and flavor. Brown sugar aftertaste. Indeed, not very subtle.

May 4, 2007 Dark ruby in colour, average sized beige head, some light lacing. The aroma is of light alcohol, caramel, light spice, dark fruits, some molasses. The flavour is quite malty, some noticable alcohol, earthy, wheaty, dark fruits. Fizzy mouthfeel, medium body, medium/high carbonation. Finishes lingering, again some alcohol, mild sweetness. Not nearly as over the top as some of the other Avery beers, this one actually has some balance and is drinkable. Not bad.

Apr 17, 2007 Smallish head covers the dark chesnut hue. Pretty much a malt monster though far better than the usual Avery at hiding its alcohol. The wheat comes across quite understated, the yeast on the other hand making for an important part of the flavor profile with its phenolic clovey nuances. Beyond that, rich and round breadiness, powdery chocolate and approaching pumpernickel. Warming palate, rather chewy and avoiding the syrupiness I might have feared. Rather subtle carbonation for a wheat ale, but that works in its aimings for the malt monster status. And somehow not too sweet. Congrats.

Dec 31, 2006 Burnet caramel, alcohol, marzipan, some floral notes and vinous fruits in the salty aroma. Clear, dark, mahogany brown body is topped by a low tan head that recedes to cover. Sweet flavour has plenty of nutty marzipan, dark pit fruits, molasses, caramel and alcohol. Some dark malt bitterness in the finish. Medium body with low carbonation and strong alcohol warming. Bottle sampled with BeerPrince, CapFlu, frink and Oakes.

Jun 26, 2006 Murky dark brown body is topped with a small, foamy tan head. Very aromatic. Cookie dough, banana, raisins, tart apple, clove, some chocolate, brown sugar. Medium body, low carbonation. The flavor was more in line with a classic doppelbock than a weizen. Good drink, nonetheless.
