Poured a prunish red color with a small, off white head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of plums, cloves, yeast and alcohol. Taste of dried fruit, roast, bananas and alcohol as well.

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 18, 2005 Similar to the ’01, this was a bit bolder. Fuller in spices and maltier. Still not a fan of Dogwood Winter though. hopdog (5606), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | May 9, 2005 Going through my notes, I just realized the ’01 & 02 were different beers (good thing I jotted some notes on both!). Poured a dark amber color with a averaged sized head. Aromas and tastes of bananas, light yeast, and sweet malts. Another one that aged OK although I prefered the ’01 better.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 9, 2005 Weizenbock? I always thought this one was an abbey dubbel. Either way it was pretty good. Deep amber/brown slightly cloudy/hazy with a fading head. Aroma is estery with banana, plum, raisin and caramel malts. Flavor is slightly sweet, yeasty, and fruity with an ok finish.

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 8, 2003 Not as good as 2001s belgian style ale. Wheat and banana flavours. Cloudy. CaptainCougar (5519), Rockville, Maryland, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 21, 2003 Thick cloudy golden color with an average size head. Good citrus and banana yeast aroma. The wheat provides a good balance in the sweet, robust, well-rounded body. Shows good adherence to style. Thanks to aracauna. BATLMULLET (127), Highland, Indiana, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Feb 7, 2003 I guess I just didn't get this one. Great golden orange color, white head. Promisingly yeasty up front, but with a musty follow-through. Is there a lot of wheat in this stuff? That's the impression I got. Winter...not sure folks in Georgia get it!

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Jan 29, 2003 Amazing how many types of beer can call themselves a "winter ale" or "christmas ale". Cloudy hefe-like hue. Breadish aroma. Wheaty, cloves, attractively dry taste. Satisfying, clean finish, rather nice.
