| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jul 12, 2008 Appearance: Pours a clear, dark brown body with a thinning -- aww, it’s gone! -- off-white head.
Smell: Chocolately nose, though mild, with notes of malted wheat, bananas, coriander.
Taste: Wheat malt coated in a dusty shell of chocolate. Restrained sweetness overall. A small taste of both coriander and banana. Slight tart fruitiness. Light hop bitterness. Finishes a bit thin.
Mouthfeel: Medium-thin body. Medium carbonation.
Drinkability: "Eh" really sums it up. A modest start, though nothing that cannot be improved upon. CaptainCougar (5517), Rockville, Maryland, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 11/20 | Jun 21, 2008 Bottle thanks to 5000: Pours a hazy dark copper mahogany with a thin-lacing spotty off-white head. Aroma of sweet biscuity dark caramel malts and peppery clove character with good German yeastiness. Body starts fairly full and caramely sweet with a buttery lightly tart character before the toasty finish. Somewhat true to style, but needs some refinement. riversideAK (2745), Shoreline, Washington, USA

Medium body and smooth. Strong taste of caramel. wheat, and roasted malts here with a mild bitterness to finish. Not too sweet like many dopplebocks.

Bottle: Aroma is moderately grainy with very faint notes of banana and chocolate. It pours sort of a muddy brown with a small off-white head. The flavor starts with lots of grain and faint chocolate with moderate sour fruit in the finish. Light-medium bodied with minimal carbonation and somewhat watery mouthfeel. Not very Weizen Bock-like.
