borgstdc (1), Wisconsin, USA
does not count  Jul 8, 2009 what better treat than this in the winter? This beer pours amber like colors, with an aroma that seems to warm without even a taste. Palate-wise its tough because we are talking about an 8% beer, however, one will not be disappointed. Try with kassler ripchen and spicy mustard.

Dec 27, 2008 On draught at the brewpub in downtown Menomonie, Wisconsin. Pours an unfiltered, hazy caramel amber brew with a decent thick and creamy beige head that has some excellent retention and lacing throughout. Aroma is quite malty, with some wheat character, yeast, a hint of chocolate and some light soft bread dough. Taste is medium to full bodied, soft texture, very light carbonation with flavors of bread dough, light yeast, toffee, and even a hint of herbal spice. Finish has a mild banana aftertaste, soft-dry texture with a little alcohol warmth after the finish. A sampler size glass of this weizenbock will not give its full character profile. Instead, try at least a half litre to appreciate this outstanding winter beer.
