hazy dark amber, fine beige head, bits of drippy lace, light chocolate aroma with a hint of fruity sweetness, rich chocolate flavor followed by a barage of esters and fusel alcohols, the sweet banana esters and rich chocolate manage to fight back to offer some good flavor, big astrengent bitterness kicks in to balance but just adds to this train wreck of a beer, close to being a great beer but held back by a couple of serious flaws

Draught at Brickseller, Washington DC
Cloudy dark amber color. It’s a liquor version of a Weizenbock, sweet, thick, very good.

Pours a clear bright copper with a thin, small-bubbled off-white head. Big aroma of sweet wheat, banana and clove has some good German yeasty notes and is very true to style. Starts full malty and wheaty with nice complex yeasty balance and good peppery clove spice and sweet banana flavor toward a doughy finish. A very authentic and enjoyable Weizenbock.

12oz bottle marked BB March 08. Poured a medium brownish color with a larger sized off white head. Aromas of cloves/spices, trace of bananas, and ’sweaty’ wheat. Tastes of the same clove/spiciness, bananas (more than the aromas), wheat, and some chocolate. Light alcohol in the finish but overall well hidden.
