Bottle at Heavyweight... 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.

Similar to the ’01, this was a bit bolder. Fuller in spices and maltier. Still not a fan of Dogwood Winter though.

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.

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.

Not as good as 2001s belgian style ale. Wheat and banana flavours. Cloudy.

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.

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!

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.
