The dark reddish-brown body of this brew is topped by a medium thick head with some lacing left on the glass. It’s slighttly sweet and malty with a nice banana note, an underlying roastiness and notes of dark fruit. Full bodied, smooth and a touch warming. Brewso (238), Mt Kisco, New York, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | May 22, 2006 Dark wheat appearance and thin head. Some banana on the nose. The distinguising characteristic of this weizen bock is the deep, dark rich caramel that lingers. It is very much like a Barton’s almond kiss- dark, almost chocolate caramel. At over 9% and like drinking candy- this stuff is dangerous. We are simply blessed to have Avery in Minnesota. egajdzis (3626), Spring Mount, Pennsylvania, USA

Aroma of sweet caramel malts, citrus fruits, banana, nuts, and clove. Taste of sweet caramel, tart citrus fruits, with more banana, light roast, and vanilla as well. Alcohol is well hidden. zathrus13 (1300), Mount Laurel, New Jersey, USA

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 19, 2008 Dark ruby with a firm off-white head. Complex aroma featuring figs and dates, licorice and molasses, and some bready munich maltiness. Sweet and fruity flavour, vineous and thick. Licorice and malt in a dry finish. The alcohol feeling falls somewhere between warming and burning. I suppose this is my first wheat wine HumuloneRed (750), Portland, Oregon, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | 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 5000 (2409), Hardened Liver, Washington, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Mar 30, 2007 Bottle: Dark brown, hues of burnt caramel, moderate to large frothy beige head, fairly nice lacing.   Rich bready nose, some biscuit and nuts, semi-sweet malts, grainy caramel, soft soy... there is a lot to this one!   Big bready start, heavy dark pitted fruit, a bit sweeter than the nose and the fruit is a bit more unripened.   Some nuts, dates, caramel is in there too.   I am quite impressed with this one.   Big in body, full to moderate mouthfeel.   Light alcohol on the finish, remains very bready, somewhat heavy even.   Lingering dark pitted fruit, although a bit muted.   Warming to say the least.   Clean, no funk at the finish.   A little biting, could be it being green or the alcohol, but totally within its boundaries.   I really enjoyed this one!   Thanks Bill for the bottle!
