Eisenbahn Vigorosa (Weizenbock)

Brewed by Cervejaria Sudbrack
Style: Weizen Bock
Blumenau, Brazil

Bottle for State Line. Very sweet, wheaty, spicy aroma - clove, brown sugar, just the slightest hint of bubblegum and banana. Murky dark brown pour with a rocky tanned / light brown head. Crisp taste of deep malt, less caramel and more brown sugar, with strong grape notes and a lesser touch from the aromatic notes mentioned above. Raisin. Spices and clove are really nice here, not over-the-top, contributing firmly steadily. Medium-full mouthfeel drenched in malt, smooth and delicious. Alcohol is well-integrated and non-noticeable - perhaps the most dangerous Weizenbock I’ve yet drunk (this is the eleventh). Dry, wheaten aftertaste. Not as aggressive or boozy as Aventinus; I’d take the Eisenbahn any day. Impressively well-crafted and representative of all the good things this style has to offer!

I don’t know how much I really liked this beer...I would prefer an Aventinus to it I think.

-------- /> I would like to rerate this beer.

Pretty good, light color but heavy on the tongue. For $2.79/ 12 oz, I will not buy this one again. But glad I tried it. Alcohol starts to hit at the end... good.

(12oz bottle) Small beige head atop cloudy copper body, dead yeast at the bottom of the glass. Aroma is medium sweet, clove, banana, some bubblegum, caramel, alcohol. Taste is moderately sweet, caramel, clove, some alcohol. Watery medium body, low carbonation.

Pretty nice beer. Not too wheaty or banana or clove, it’s just well balanced. A nice sweet finish.

Bottle shared courtesy of egajdzis. Bottle labeled Batch 10. Poured a medium and lightly hazy orange color with a small sized off white head. Aromas of nuts, bananas, cloves, toffee, and dark fruits. Malty and sweet smelling. Tastes of caramel, bananas, dark fruits, and ligth wheat.

Thanks to egajdzis for sharing this one. Pours a lightly hazy orange amber with a small bubbly off white head. Aroma of dark fruits, molasses, some light toasted malts, hints of banana and some clove. Flavors of the same with ripe bananas lingering. Some hints of vanilla and caramel.
