Brewed by Cervejaria Sudbrack
Style: Weizen Bock
Blumenau, Brazil

From a 12 oz bottle from the Bottle Barn in Santa Rosa, CA this poured a cloudy red-brown with an off-white head. Moderate lacing. Noes of ripe fruit, Fairly full body and rich mouthfeel. Flavor is rich as well and full of more ripe fruit. Finish is dry. Good.

hazy red/brown with minimal head. mellow nose... slightly fruity, banana, and roasted malt notes. taste is sweet, fruity. medium-full bodied with an oily character and somewhat dry finish. taste left on palate has me wanting more. pretty yummy weizen bock

Mahogany colored body under a fizzy non-head. Aroma is fruity and malted with berries, cherries and grapes along with both pale and caramel malt, a little earthy. Banana notes show up in the flavor along with fruity white wine and a splash of whisky before a mild, earthen coffee bitterness. Smooth, semi-full body, a little flat with a touch of chalkiness. Alcohol lingers with grape notes. Glancing down at a couple reviews it seems like this changed character after cellaring for 2 years. ~~~~~~~~~~ 12 oz. bottle from Cornfield, May 2007, consumed September 2009. Batch #10.

Lightly hazy dark reddish brown - minimal lacing - nose of dough, bread pudding, dates, a light earthy, mustiness, moderate phenols, black cherry, even a mild vinous character - the flavor is a little less interesting - fairly sugary sweet, with some tangy, earthy wheat - moderate clove phenols - some chocolate, date, raisin, and fig - most of this character takes a back seat to sugary sweetness, though - the date and raisin shine through in the finish - I like my weizenbocks a bit less sweet, with a stronger wheat influence, so this doesn’t really do it for me as much as it should- decent, though.

An aroma of dark malted grains, but the aroma is rather faint. The appearance is a very dark clouded brown, with no head even from the initial pour. The flavor is a very nice combination of that dark roasted malt (thin on roast), typical wheat yeast cultures (that typical bubblegum and banana tastes), and some complimentary spice. Vigorosa has a very roasty hang on, and a nice soft feel overall.

12 oz bottle from Oak Tree. Pours a dark murky muddy reddish brown with a small foamy beige head. Aroma ia very sweet with lots of raisin, plum and prunes, wet wheat, raisin toast nad brown bread. Body is smoth drinking with a medium mouthfeel and bubbly slightly carbonation and a rather dry finsih especially considering the very sweet aroma. Flavors of lightly buttered raisin brown toast, wheat, nutts, dark fruits and even more raisin. Really nice and very well done but the carbonation needs to settle down on this one just a bit.
